1. Horticulture Park

One of our most favorite spots to explore with our couples is Horticulture Park! We love how the landscape is varied, including giant evergreen trees plus overgrown grassy areas. The sun peeks through the trees in all the right places, and the sunset here is to die for! The spring flowers bloom just right, and it’s not as popular as some of the other areas in Lafayette!
