The Markham Nature Park and Arboretum is a natural arboretum is a beautiful botanical garden on La Vista Avenue that is still a work in progress with most of the site still in a natural state.
Founded in 1981 by the Markham Regional Arboretum Society, the arboretum offers a tranquil haven in which to escape the hustle and bustle of the city with unique and unusual trees, shrubs, and plants from all around the world.
With much of the vegetation only slightly tamed and still in its natural state, the gardens thrive in the marine-influenced climate which boasts hot days and cool nights in the summer, with cold, frosty nights in the winter time. The shade-dappled Galindo Creek flows through the gardens, which are open from dawn till dusk, 365-days a year.
