After the small lake, on your left you will see the Merten E. Natorp Arboretum. Here there are many varieties of trees both native and ornamental donated to the park by businesses and citizens. The trees are labeled with their common and scientific names and planting dates. There is a small gazebo in the Arboretum for picnics and has even hosted weddings. Mason has a very active tree planting committee and has been designated by the Arbor Day Foundation as a Tree City USA for the past 18 years (Arbor Day Foundation, 2017).
