Editorial
  • Overview
    A variety of facilities include open spaces for kite flying and concerts, a playground, baseball diamonds, basketball and tennis courts and, for the more genteel, lawn bowling. Countless trees and a pond frequented by ducks and Canadian geese make this park a stroller's paradise. But the real draw is the park's natural beauty, visible in the tulip garden, perennial garden and herb garden along the wildflower trail and even in the rock garden. The park's small restaurant, the Pond House, serves lunch and dinner.

    The Appeal
    The park's pride and joy is the nation's oldest municipal rose garden, with 800 varieties of roses (many of which are rare) on approximately 15,000 bushes. The rose blooms begin in June and some last until October.
