[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me guess OP. You are a millennial who doesn’t have a car and you live in one of the gentrified neighborhood in north east that is convenient walking or biking distance to the Arboretum. Am I right?

Bonus points for admitting that you are a fairly recent arrival to the district of Columbia and this is your first home that you’ve purchased[/quote]

To add, just as you’re tired of cars in your new pandemic walking routine, people like me, who’ve been going there for years,
are so bummed that throngs of millennials have “discovered “ the once-quiet place. [b]We’re dismayed that you clog it up consistently with off-leash rescue dogs and shouty loud preschoolers and babies climbing in the trees which is clearly inappropriate.[/b]

We have to coexist now and so do you[/quote]
I have no issue with cars - as it is a large park - but boy, last time we were there, in March, there were unruly children trying to climb on every single freakin' tree! You can't do that in an arboretum, these trees are curated and part of the exhibit, so to speak.
FWIW, we've been coming to the place for many years and this climbing onslaught is a fairly recent phenomenon. When our kids were little, we didn't let them climb those trees.
