American Legion Memorial Park, Urban park with arboretum in Everett, US.
American Legion Memorial Park is a 1.6-hectare park at 145 Alverson Boulevard on Everett's northern peninsula, overlooking Port Gardner. It has tennis courts, baseball fields, a playground and picnic areas. At its west end lies the 2.4-acre Evergreen Arboretum and Gardens, opened on April 11, 1963, with ten themed gardens maintained by volunteers.
The park developed as recreational land in a growing waterfront community that needed public gathering spaces alongside its maritime industry. In 2014, the northwestern viewpoint received the name Hibulb Lookout to honor a former Snohomish village that once occupied the area.
The Evergreen Arboretum and Gardens at the park's west end opened on April 11, 1963, when its first tree was planted on a 3.5-acre site. It now holds ten themed gardens, among them a Japanese maple grove with 17 varieties, a dahlia garden and a white border, all kept up by volunteers who give their time and money.
