Owen Rose Garden City Park

There were so many different colors and varieties of roses it was unreal! Simply beautifully kept grounds, great accessible walkways, and even though we snagged the last parking spot available it did not feel crowded in the garden as walkways were wide and people kept their distance. I did notice some sketchily parked vans/vehicles, which I assume people were living in, sprinkled about the parking lot, which made the experience feel tarnished as the homeless population in this area can be a bit aggressive and dangerous. But overall it was an amazing place to visit and I would recommend! Just make sure to lock your vehicle and keep your kids close!

This was a beautiful stop, we where nicely surprised with how many people where visiting so early in the morning. On the side of caution just make sure your car is locked as homeless sleeping under bench and another allowing dog to run around with no leash .

The roses are beautiful this time of year. And if we walk toward the left about 500' you may find the spot where I took the pictures of these busy ducks.

Oh, Owen Rose Garden, you bloomed your way into my heart and made me feel like a botanical connoisseur! Now, let's dive into this bloomin' awesome review. First off, let me just say that even though not all the roses were in season, it didn't dampen my spirits one bit. This garden was a sight to behold! It was like stepping into a fragrant wonderland where colors and scents danced together in perfect harmony. I found myself surrounded by nature's artwork, and oh boy, it was a feast for the eyes and nose! Now, here's where the comedic plot twist comes in. Picture this: I'm strolling through this serene garden, feeling all zen and at peace with the world when suddenly, out of nowhere, a heated bike argument breaks out! Yep, you heard it right. Apparently, those folks on their two-wheeled contraptions couldn't agree on whose turn it was to ring the bell. Talk about a thorny situation in a rose garden! But fear not, dear readers, for even amidst the bike-fueled drama, Owens Rose Garden remained a tranquil haven. The beauty of the flowers and the gentle rustling of leaves managed to calm my soul, despite the occasional bike-induced chaos. It was like Mother Nature herself was reminding me to stop and smell the roses, while also giving me a good laugh. So, if you're in need of some floral therapy and a sprinkle of unexpected amusement, Owens Rose Garden is the place to be. Just remember to keep an eye out for those drama-seeking bicyclists. Five stars? Absolutely! Owens Rose Garden, you've shown me that even in the midst of floral tranquility, life can throw in a dash of comedy. Keep blooming and keep the bike battles entertaining!

There were not many roses, but it was quiet and nice for walking. It was beautiful to see so many volunteers tending the roses.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entryFree

Beautiful rose garden along the Willamette River. You can walk there along the bike path or park and walk in.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitPrice for adult entryFree

Amazing care and cleanliness of this park. June is one of the best months to visit; almost all the garden is fully blooming and all the flowers are opened and vibrant. Great for photography sessions. There are benches located around the park, as well as restrooms. No fee to enter or park. Many picnic areas for group reunions, proposals, wedding pics, etc. The neighborhood around is ok, some of the streets are not the best; but the park itself is beautiful, clean, great condition and safe. We didn’t find any homeless people, but the area before getting there showed that there were some.

Beautiful garden, very clean and nicely paved path to walk. Great assortment of roses to enjoy.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitPrice for adult entryFree

LOVE the rose garden. It is very family friendly, alongside Willamette river and a beautiful place to see lots of roses and take pictures. ;Lately our trips have been for taking homecoming pictures. My daughter and nearly half the school go here for their pictures. It's very well maintained, who would't. My pictures speak for themselves. Dog-friendliness: Dog friendly as long as you keep your dog on a leash per laws. Picnic area: Nice semi covered picnic area with tables but this is a garden and you can picnic anywhere.

This was a really beautiful place! We went when everything was bloomed so it was awesome.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
