Reviews
"Rose Garden is beautiful. Love walking our dog on the walking path at the end of the road. So much wildlife."
"Got married in the rose garden 11/11/22. We grew up playing here, and now so do our children. My mother worked in the rose garden for 10 years."
"Beautiful roses and well kept park"
"As always beautiful park; however, many things have gone without repair and look run down which is very sad. Especially the bridge connecting one side of the park with the other. It is actually closed with a sign saying to not enter the bridge because it is dangerous. Still one of my favorite places but needs more attention. But, the play equipment for young children is perfect and very appreciated!"
"A great place for families to spend time, especially with little ones. Lots of space to let them run. There is a playground set up for special needs children. Several playgrounds in this park, you can move around. Bring extra clothes and a towels and let the kids enjoy the water fountain. Great place for picnics. Fly kites here! Tennis, Golf, Softball, Baseball, Soccer? Plenty of fields to play on or practice on. Call to schedule a game. Book a Wedding in Advance in the Rose Garden, absolutely beautiful! There is a lake to fish and a bridge to take great pictures on. Photographers have lots of photo opportunities here. Buildings are also available to rent for Baby Showers and other events."
