    Great park but not shaded enough. Lots of playground variety. Really good for kids who love to climb!

    The Raleigh Rose Garden is one of the City of Raleigh Parks. It is a treasure in Raleigh, located…read morebehind the Raleigh Little Theatre. The garden was officially dedicated in 1951 and remains one of three accredited rose gardens in North Carolina. The area has a fascinating history. The sunken, oval-shaped space was a dirt race track back when the NC Fairgrounds was located there. Then, during World War I, the space was converted into a training ground for Camp Polk's combat tanks. The racehorse track and the combat tank training trench were reimagined into the space we get to enjoy today. The mud hole was drained, and the land was reshaped by volunteers. The tier-terraces were a way to keep the water from washing away the future flowers. The amphitheater was constructed first, and it took years for the rose garden, as there was no budget for it during World War II. Nurseries, community garden clubs and even private individuals donated the rose bushes and native trees, Normally, there is a free parking lot, but my visit today had the lot blocked off as a tree brought down power lines. So there was parking available on the streets surrounding the gardens. My visit today was short: it was 97 degrees out, and my phone overheated during my stroll. I realized I might be overheated, too and made my way back into the air conditioning. It is a stunning, historic oasis that is well worth the visit--just remember to bring a cold bottle of water on hot afternoons!

    Thank You!!! ...to the volunteers that maintain this treasured garden with hundreds of rose…read morebushes....and thanks to the city for the upgrades recently made : ) Amazing spot that always brings a smile ; ) and such a wonderful asset in our city. FYI- Mother's Day is typically a good time to visit in the spring
