The garden is actually a city park so there's no admission fee AND dogs are allowed, which is always a bonus. Although it might not be as well maintained as the
Seattle Japanese Garden in the Arboretum, I thought this park was in good condition with lots of trails and walkways to explore. It also has tons of photo opps - I can't tell you how many people had those fancy cameras and tri-pods in hand! Be sure to check out Kubota the next time you want to get a urban fall fix!
