  • By Thomas V
    We were a little too early in the winter months to get the best of this lovely rose garden. It's a lovely park in a pleasant residential area but best in the late spring when the roses are in bloom.  more »

    This little park is primarily cared for by volunteers. It is very well taken care of and even has a couple of wild turkeys that reside on the property.  more »

    A beautiful garden, set among homes, a relief from the hustle bustle of the city. The variety of roses were astounding n in beautifully manicured garden. There were two peacocks entertaining us n little bushy tails running around. A tranquil water feature added to the beauty. All in all we had a pleasant time. Bring your own food/ drinks though
  • By Jennifer Mendez
