This is a great location for a solo, couple, friends, or family relaxing walk or picnic in the gardens. There are plenty of open spaces as well as tucked away corners to either people watch or connect privately with your companions. I thoroughly enjoy the variety of roses, which are well kept and flourish through the summer. Great for photos and close to amenities in Clintonville if you want to make a day of it and have lunch, enjoy outdoor recreation and then relax.

Great place to spend the day and check out all the beautiful plants and flowers. They have very nice walkways and paths that lead to different sections. It looks like a perfect place to hold an outside wedding or large event. Restrooms are located onsite however due to COVID-19 they only have portable bathrooms available. Handicap accessible parking available and plenty of parking right out front. We really enjoyed our walk through the gardens and down by the creek that runs through. It would be a great place to go bring kids of any age to run and explore. Pet friendly if they are leashed and someone even had doggie treats sitting around in different areas, so if your dog is on a diet watch out. I really enjoyed the identification plaques on all the different species of plants along the way.

Beautiful park. Lots of open walkways, tons of stunning roses to view. I recommend you come between Mothers day and the end of June to see the best selection of flowers! This is a great place to take senior pictures or have a wedding. There are also tennis courts, large open grass areas and plenty of parking.

Beautiful park. Highly recommended. Great place for photography. Here are some shots I took.

Nice park.Very beautiful and pleasant. Huge park to walk around. Huge variety of roses can be found. Amazing feeling seeing all those colors. We went in summer which made perfect sense weather wise. We spent about a couple of hours good spot to spend a few hours walking around.

Absolutely beautiful garden and park. Scrupulously maintained with an amazing array of different flowers and flora. Its open enough that even on a Saturday you can easily maintain social distancing.

Lovely park within the city with walking trails as well as bicycles. Lots of roses and other garden specimens. Picnic and sports areas plus open fields for play. Nice place to spend time alone with family and others.

Whetstone Park of roses is my favorite park. The roses are always gorgeous. With really cute gazebos. There are two different playgrounds, a casting pond, baseball fields, soccer field,, tennis courts, and bike paths. It really has something for everyone. The rose gardens are just a little past the library, but definitely walking distance.

I came the wrong time of year out of medical necessity. It was still calming and relaxing, and the dog and I got much needed recreation and fresh air. The ducks on the fishing pond were charming, as were the kids on the playground... But the only flowers in bloom were wild ones untended by man, only invigorated by God.

This park is so beautiful. They have a variety of plants and roses. It’s a nice place to relax and take a walk.

Well maintained flower garden with all the name boards for the plant.. It was a really good experience for us to see different kind of roses and colors were pure treat to the eyes.. Make sure u go in full bloom seasons to see most of the flowers bloom.. Thats in early spring.. Perfect place for picnic, kite flying, there are trails for cycling as well.. But not in the garden..

Park of Roses is a nice park, there is tennis, baseball, soccer, fishing, two pavilions, Public Library, trails paved and non paved. The rose garden boasts to be the Worlds Largest and its all maintained by volunteers of Clintonville. There are two playgrounds one up top by the library suited for 10 and under, there are horseshoe rings, and down by the stocked pond there is another playground for all sizes they offer porta pottys for use of needed. Something for everyone.

The Park of Roses has been my favorite place to stroll, pause, photograph and bring my dogs. I have taught yoga (Yoga-Well-Being) all summer at the gazebo for almost 25 years. A place of enchantment and joy.

Enjoyable place very nice not a lot of people would definitely recommend it

The roses are beautiful! I love going here for walks with friends. Just know if you bring a dog, people let their dogs off leash.

The roses, the fountain, the variety of gardens and trails around them: these are the main reasons people list the Park of Roses as a great place to visit. Those are all part of the reasons I do as well, yet there are many more reasons. The majority of people visiting this garden are good folks who will smile at you regardless of who you are, where youre from, what you look like, etc. The roses bind us all; as long as you respect them, you are- in turn- respected. There are bags to bundle up the refuse your dogs leave behind, and they are welcome at the park as long as they are generally under control (leashed or well trained). There are areas to sit, so anyone can take in the beauty of the area. The path is mostly smooth, and wheelchair accessible, so anyone can easily visit it. Some of the roses are fragrant, but youll only know if you stop to sniff them and admire their beauty close-up. They do a have a few port-a-johns around if you need a restroom. (Usually they have restrooms somewhat available at the main shelter house, but during the pandemic theyve been closed off.) The roses bloom from early spring into the fall, but they are at their most beautiful and height of presence right now, in June. Go, and enjoy!

Bask in the garden of roses..!!The park is beautiful, full of roses. The park is clean and well maintained. Nice place to hang out with your partner. There is a fragrance in the air. Of late due to rain, you may not see the full bloom yet. You may plan to visit by end of June/early July to enjoy the full bloom.Enjoy few pics from today’s visit.

It was beautiful and is in full bloom right now! Lots of beautiful roses to see and they all smell so good!

Its really amazing palce. Good for peace of mind and meditation

So pretty and the scents were heavenly. I just wish there was an easier way for handicapped people to access the site. The entrance to the grounds, although not staired, is a fairly serve slope and pushing a wheelchair up it could be extremely difficult for unhealthy, aged, or weaker patrons. Likewise, coming down the slope could be perilous. Otherwise, BEAUTIFUL

We love this park! Fishing/reflecting pool, rose gardens, tennis courts and soccer fields. You can go creaking, connect to the Olentangy bike trail and hammock! My family and I always have a blast when we come here-- we also love the library and the play ground!

This is one of my favorite places in Columbus. A couple years ago they didnt take very good care of it but now its as good as it was when I was younger. I take lots of photos there and there are many times when Ive seen weddings and photo shoots happening. Really gorgeous and more than just roses. Plenty of benches to just relax and enjoy the view. Great places for kids and dogs to come along.

Amazing gardens. Best time to go is early to mid June when the roses are blooming. A very peaceful park.

Love this place for a simple evening walk. Stop and smell the roses, as they say.

Nature is beautiful! The roses are so pretty and fragrant! Nice place to enjoy a leisurely walk or backdrop for photo shoot.

Beautiful Garden! Only wish was that there would be a public restroom. But they have the portable ones.

Beautiful place to walk and and look at the sites and get some exercise and sit down and relax

Such a beautiful park. Great pathways both paved and not, through woods, roses and fields.

A nice relaxing stroll with beautiful flowers.

This place is beautiful! Smells amazing!! Very well kept!! ! We definitely return!!

This was beautiful and peaceful.. not for people with allergies. And it was a nice walk through mostly flat areas and easy access to the flowers for picture taking. Just have to climb the one hill to get to the flower area behind a building where they host private events.

Was just checking out. Looked nice enough.

One of the most beautiful places in Ohio. Theres everything from trees and herbs and assorted flowers to of course roses. Theres tons of gazebos and a huge fountain in the middle of the park, and if you walk the other direction theres a river and a ton of trails. So beautiful, definitely recommend!

Small garden with beautiful collection of flowers must for one time family visit

Beautiful flowers and the upkeep of the grounds is wonderful

My girls and I absolutely loved our visit here. We were hoping to see butterflies but we didnt see one. its okay though because the variety of roses are beautiful

This is a huge metro park. Casting pond, bike and running trails, river, park of roses, baseball diamonds, tennis courts, etc. Just a great place to hang out, take the dog, or whatever

Played there many years ago as a kid. Amazing how much it has grown and the way its been maintained. Must see in the early summer when roses are blooming.

Nice place to walk and enjoy the flowers. Needs better signage from parking lot to direct you to gardens behind east building. Only outhouses available with washing stations.

Beautiful place for an event. Tranquil and peaceful too!

We sat in shade over in the field away from everyone and it was lovely. The actual park was too crowded with very few wearing masks so we avoided it. The perfect weather and quiet space we were able to use was perfect though.

Love this park. Beautiful when in full bloom. Tons of different kinds of Roses to look at. They have little structures/pagodas you can hang out in or take pictures in. They also have a shelter house that can be reserved for events if you so desire.

This is our favorite park, lots of places to explore and Very dog friendly. Deer come by every so often. The ravine is great if you have dogs who want to get muddy & wet (no pics of that). Large fields, wetlands, creek, woods, walking/bike path, easy hiking paths, and the river. Lots of picnic tables, a couple covered, porta pots (most of them decent), good trees for hammock placement. Busier on weekends & after 5 on week days. There are tennis courts, a playground, and the manicured Park of Roses too.

Very beautiful, great 1st part of my birthday

Always love visiting the park during this time of year!!! Absolutely breathtaking!!

The roses are super. The selection is huge the smell is incredible.

The love of my life takes me here often, quite romantic and omfg its gorgeous at night in the rain.

I like this place. It could use a little shade to break up the hot, sunny walkways, but the roses are really amazing when they are in bloom.You cant go here without seeing the playground equipment, so keep that in mind if you have easily disappointed children. The playground across the parking lot is not available right now.

Beautiful park, but I would have loved to stop by when the roses were more in bloom, looked like the bushes were struggling a bit. Still recommend stopping by for a nice walk. :)

Very cool place to visit. Went in the start of winter so a lot of the stuff had already lost its color. Still plenty of plants and roses to checkout. Great place for some photography.

Lovely park. Lots of trails,walking paths, a pond, and cool playground for the kids... Theres just never any wind when I want to fly a kite ;-)

Very nice garden. Worth the time. Grounds are nice with a good cared for venue of Roses.

Absolutely gorgeous park with lots of open space and places to sit and relax.

Nice winding paths and plenty of shelters to stop at and plants to enjoy while you walk!

Such and awesome park with great space for social distances

We are really blessed to have such a beautiful place in our backyard.

As usual the park of Roses doesnt disappoint.

So much to see and do here. Lovely gardens and nice, older playground.

This is a wonderfully designed collection of gardens free and open to the public.

Great place to walk around and enjoy nature. The roses were blooming beautifully. It was busier than I expected for a Monday.

Beautiful park. Great place for photo shoot, also theres a cool trail down by the water

Beautiful place. Great in June for taking photos.

Always a great experience when going to this park. It is well maintained and there are so many different types of roses that bloom at slightly different times. No matter what time you go youll see different colors blooming. The other gardens are great as well, like the herb garden. I will always want to come here for an evening date/stroll.

A place for all to love and enjoy. The nature walk is wonderful. A great way to decompress.

So many different types of beautiful roses.

Beautiful park. Always enjoy strolling here. Beautiful roses.

So many beautiful roses. My favorite was the apricot rose. Smelled amazing

Much colors. Very flower. Wow

Nice place to stroll with a significant other. Will try to return on a warm day after some rain.

This park is beautiful and well maintained. There are labels on all of the plants so you can identify them and there is plenty to see all year round. There are also areas to have events and weddings.

Beautiful and busy park. Was about a week late to see the peak bloom. Still, stunning variety...

Great place for a family walk.

My trip here was amazing! Had a wonderful time, very beautiful and well set up. a lot of stuff to look at and explore for a solid few hours!

Well maintained, dog friendly. Beautiful scenery. Its a lovely little get away.

Been there plenty of times, its soothing most days and exciting some others.

I came for Pokemon Go, and was pleasantly surprised to find a beautiful park, lots of roses, other flowers, herbs, pet friendly. Was disappointed that the pokestops for pokemon go werent more conveniently placed for making laps.

A lovely park that allows dogs! Plenty of little secluded benches to sit and chat.

Beautiful place to visit. Im guessing it would be best to visit only in spring and summer and maybe in fall as well.

Very beautiful. Good picnic area

It is very beautiful park with full of scenic beauty. If you want to enjoy the fresh, clean air and weather it is one of best places to visit in columbus.

Family friendly and lots of areas and art to enjoy. Hand sanitizer stations are everywhere which is really nice.

I have always been a fan of this park. Its well maintained and easy to get to. What I like best is how quiet it is and there never really seems to be a crowd of people.

I love to come to the park and roses its so relaxing, I love taking walks around the park. Love to look at all beautiful roses and different types of flowers.

Very nice place to visit and sit down to take in the beauty of the flowers. Quiet and serene.

Great park. Amazing time despite COVID-19 distancing. Nice nature trails and bike path

Not kept up as well as in the past. The roads and sidewalks arent in great shape either. All else excellent. I like to rollerblade the Olentangy Trail bike path from here.

Its beautiful, offers so much inspiration and wellness!

First time visiting this place. This is where my ultimate frisbee group meets up at. This is such a great park in columbus. There are soccer nets, lacross nets and open fields, playground, fishing ponds, trails to run or walk. We need more places like this that are regulated. Im bringing my dogs next time but its kinda connected to neighborhoods which is awesome also there is plenty of parking didnt run into any problems at this park.

This is a wonderful flowers & other plants park in spring and early summer! Many roses/plants/trees have identification plaques. Later in summer the park can be pretty hot during the day.

It has very calming ambience, and its a really pretty place to hang out especially when the roses are in bloom.

Absolutely stunning park with a duck pond!

This is an amazing park. We drive from the Cleveland area for the roses. Never disappoints us.

This place is an absolute Oasis... it’s very relaxing and serene. A perfect place for a walk in the spring and fall especially. The flowers are absolutely breathtaking! Gorgeous to say the least... a grounding environments deed.

This hidden gem is the best spot in Columbus, especially during may and June when the Roses are in bloom.

Lovely as always and fun to see the kiddos running around in the big puddles during the storm I waited out to enjoy my walk.

The flowers were beautiful and it was amazing we waved at cars

A beautiful, well tended park! My parents got married here, and I can always see why. When the flowers are in bloom, it truly is a wonderful place to stroll through, whether you’re trying to meet your step goal or just going to wander! Alone or with friends, it’s a very peaceful happy park to find yourself at! Especially when it’s in full bloom!

Beautiful,. peaceful park. You can access it right off the Olentangy Bike Path.

Great place for walks with the whole family

I DID NOT HATE THE PARK OF ROSES. ITS MY FAVE PARK IN COLUMBUS.
