When the mercury rises and sweat begins to bead, this most bucolic of urban getaways offers shady relief and sweeping vistas.. In Short
Within a stone's throw of the city limits, the 92-acre arboretum sits at the outer edge of Chestnut Hill. Though it was given to the University of Pennsylvania by John and Lydia Morris in 1932, it's very much a public space, open to anyone who pays the admission fee.
