Beautiful and well maintained. Loved the Japanese garden. On the shore off the great Sinnissippi River! The river front has a long trail for running, biking, walking or skating. The gardens are nice for strolling. Next time we go. We will bring our bikes and spend a little more time in the area.

Sinnissippi Gardens is a beautiful place to visit while in Rockford. So many varieties of trees and plants to walk around and look at. There is a wonderful walking path and a beautiful pond with little creeks running into it. The pond is full of goldfish, ducks swimming around, frogs and even a pair of beautiful swans! Waterfalls too! There is a giant green house building full of tropical plants. It was closed so I wasnt able to enter this time. Lots of people everywhere, familys with kids, single people, all enjoying this beautiful place! Everyone polite, nice and saying hi to each other!

Such a gem to have this in the center of our town. The beautiful rose garden, the conservatory, the Trolley and so much more. One of my favorite places to go and take a stroll to decompress from the day.

The gardens at Sinnissippi Park are absolutely beautiful! What a wonderful place to go to marvel at Gods gorgeous creation! The roses in late June are pretty, but a week or two beyond the peak. The middle of July should be the peak of the second round of roses. It is so beautiful with the trellises, the waterfalls and the swans and geese. Its a beautiful place to take a walk with your friends and family.

Walking through the garden and looking at the flowers was fun. Ducks and swans and gigantic goldfish. Only downside was while my friend was checking out the goldfish I was avoiding the blackbirds, which, as the sign says, may attack.

Rockford Park District goes to Great Lengths to keep Sinnissippi clean and beautiful. Its one of the few places in Rockford that is not littered with garbage and debris. Nice place to go for a walk, relax and see the true beauty in nature.

The gardens provide a glorious array of several varieties of eye-catching rose bushes. If you love flowers and adore roses, this is the place to visit! No filter on any of the pictures. The roses are naturally that vibrant!

Food Truck ThursdaysThis was the best idea ever. I enjoy supporting locally owned businesses and this event offered a great escape during this pandemic. The vendors were friendly and added there own personal special touch to provide excellent service. I tried a jerk philly, from the Jammin Jerk Grill and it was so delicious.

A place to go to if you love flowers. If you want to walk along the Rock River in Rockford, IL then this is the place to go. There are bike trails and walking paths all around. In the summer there is a tram that goes along the riverfront and there is a garden with many different varieties of Roses. Walk around and you will get to them.

Great place to take the kids and for a walk they have a small playground best suited for kids 6 or under and it is right on the river which can be pretty relaxing. If your looking for something a little more interactive the YMCA and Nicholas conservatory are also located off the path within walking distance.
