If you want to have a picnic and have kids, this is the spot to be. Kids have a huge area to run freely, it's safe and you can feed the ducks by die dam. Plenty of shade, just bring a blanket to sit on the grass that's very well maintained.

This is a really nice place to relax, I personally enjoy sitting my the dam. There is a lot of grass space for picnics, nice benches all over the garden, there is a stream as well. People do come here to walk their dogs so if you are not a fan of dogs keep that in mind. I highly recommend it

The gardens are very well maintained, with beautiful flowers blooming everywhere you look.The grounds are litter free and provide a safe place for walks and quality family time.Plenty of Pokémon gyms and stops for fans of the game.

I remember how beautiful this place used to be as a kid. The gardens are in bad shape and the restaurant is closed for renovations. The grass areas are well mower and decent though. Lots of place to play or walk the dog. It is a pity most people don't respect the public park enough to keep it clean and pick up after their pets. A few selfish people roam the public space with dogs off leash despite bylaws.

Very sad to see this beautiful garden in such a state. The toilets have been vandalised. The water fountains are not working.

Always a treat to visit these gardens, be it in summer or winter. The summer brings with it beautifully bright flowers and lush green grass. It's a great and quiet place to relax, meet with a group of friends, or bring your family and kids to while enjoying the nature and well crafted landscape

Beautiful and tranquil place to visit whether you want to ride your bike, take a walk, picnic, feed the ducks or sit by the water (plus more). Don't always feel too comfortable around the rose gardens though as the people that congregate there like to point their cameras in your direction, especially if you are with a female or children. This issue has never been addressed appropriately
