This park is beautifully maintained all the time! Each season has its own unique beauty here. Its a great place to walk and enjoy the beauty, and plenty of places to sit and relax. Definitely bring a camera!What I consider the main entrance, isnt open right now. The back parking lot by the pond house is open as well as along the road.

The park is beautiful! It’s a nice place to take a walk with your friends, and there are great trees to climb all over the place if you or your kids want something a bit more interesting. There is also a stage near the roses where performances regularly occur. I caught a jazz combo performing when I was there, and everyone loved the live music. Make sure you visit when the rose garden is in full bloom, though, because the flowers are absolutely breathtaking! Overall just a beautiful place to enjoy nature.

I absolutely love this park. It’s so beautiful. They take such good care of it. There are plenty of things to see. It’s perfect to walk around, relax or explore with your family or loved one. I highly recommend this park. I loved it and my nieces and nephew loved it too. There is a food court but it was closed when I was there. I wish it was open because it look so adorable. Anyway, go have a look and enjoy. I know you will love it too.

I went to Elizabeth Park Rose Garden later in the day at around 3pm.There was easy parking right outside of the park. Not being from this area I had never visited this park before. Looking at the pictures I did have a completely different vision of what the park would look like.In the google pictures you do see the center part of the park. That has a lot of green, the rose garden, and other small bundles of plants.But what I experience was not really knowing where anything in the pictures are was a bit confusing. If you follow the path you will get the center of the park where you see everything eventually but until then you cant help but think am I in the right place?. With that being said the walk on the path to the center of the park is really very beautiful, full of trees, little streams and other bushes.Once you do get to the center of the park it is as wonderful as the pictures you see. There are lots of people taking wedding, graduation & family pictures because of this. The center of the park also has a wonderful Café that is in front of a body of water that is full of ducks and swans. All a wonderful asset to this park.The entire walk takes about one hour and half is you are strolling and open to peaking around the whole park. All in all, great adventure.

The Beautiy in this place will uplift your Soul!! This is where you will find Peace.!The Flowers that has bursted on to the canvas, with its Aluring Aromas will stimulate your Mind, Body and Spirit. ELIZABETH park invites you to Walk, Run, Ride and play.The Restaurants has patio dining as your nestled between the landscape and the duck pond overlooking nature in Her Glory. They just open up a Gift shop ! With unique items that promote different artists craft!!! All to support the Foundation that Keeps this Park a Gem our City!!! LOVE This place!!!

Its always beautiful here in the rose gardens. This year especially! Its absolutely gorgeous. The roses are perfect. Some dont even look like they are real, theyre so perfect. I come here every year. Its so worth talking a ride here. They have a snack stand where you can get drinks, ice cream or a hot dog. Lots of places to sit and just take in the beauty. If you havent been here its totally worth stopping. Its free to get in and free to park.

Just beautiful all around. We try to go at least twice a year. Reccomend it to everyone that wants to enjoy a nice peaceful afternoon/evening walk.

The gardens of the roses were very nice..The walk was nice . But if you need a walker or cane please bring it. There are benches around but mother natures family had other ideas in mind . The only draw back was parking. We went when there was no parking in the park and the road was cut off so no cars VERY NICE ( hope it stays that way). If you need a day to get out and walk around a suggest this gem of a place.

My heart feels very light each time my family comes to this enchanting place. Walking in the garden of these beautiful roses gives you a wonderful feeling of happiness. It makes you forget your worries. It makes you feel like a butterfly just playfully flying and adoring this captivating paradise.

What an absolute amazing find by my wife. We have visited the CT plenty of times and cant believe weve never found it before. Look forward to bringing my mother in law next summer to see all the roses. If your passing through this area make this a pit stop and check out this beautiful area.

A great place to take photos or go for a walk in nature and relax. There’s also a snack bar on the grounds with a restroom. Truly a beautiful place.

Came here yesterday for taking pictures before rail biking in Essex CT.Beautiful places for taking pictures especially if you have models and mirrorless camera.

Had a great tour of grounds and inside. Knowledgeable guide. So much to see. 2nd visit needed to see and remember more.

Come here during late June and early July to see gorgeous roses. Great place for a photo shoot!

Beautiful place to visit. There are soo many different kinds of roses a d they are beautifully placed. One more thing I like here is they have put lable of which kind they belong to.

Beautiful and extensive collection of a wide variety of roses both heritage and hybrids. Beautiful archways, gazebo, multicolored roses of every hue draw your attention each way you turn. Annuals, perennials, herbs, a bonsai display, a shady pond with lovely stone bridge. Refreshments are available. Plenty of seating on benches in the garden area and an open field is also available. Tours are offered. Pets are welcome as long as well behaved and picked up after! Parking is at a premium during the busy peak times and licenses from all over New England show what a wonderful destination this well cared for park is.

Large, floral, peaceful and scenic park.

Many nice walking paths through well maintained grounds. The rose garden, the herb garden and the pond are especially nice.

Beautiful place to visit,a must see if your in the area.

Nice public garden specialized in roses. It also has a rock garden, and also a perennial garden. The place is well kept. The ground is clean, suitable for walking or just sitting around enjoying nature.Middle of June is the best time to visit. Roses in many varieties are in full bloom. A good time to take in its beauty and time for closed up pictures.Free admission, nice grounds, beautiful garden. A nice place for taking a break or go for a brisk walk....

It doesnt matter what time of year you visit as nature works its magic each time. Great place to go for a run, walk around, sit and watch the ducks. Walk around the many gardens or visit the pond or go kick a ball in the open grounds. Have a picnic. Go smell the Roses. Something for folks of all ages.

An absolutely gorgeous place, one rose more beautiful than the other! Thanks, Mother Nature! ️

Elizabeth Park is a wonderfully comforting escape on a sunny afternoon. The Rose Garden is in full bloom and is beautiful. The duck pond is tranquil and inviting one to be serene and hopeful. The walking trails and bountiful gardens and groomed landscapes were so enjoyable. Dont miss this gem.

A great free way to spend a couple hours or enjoy a picnic! Restrooms were locked (there are portable bathrooms). Plenty of benches, shade, sun, and open areas.

Beautiful. Went at the end of the summer, so not too many roses but the dahlias were in bloom among others. Definitely premo location for a date or even picnic with the fam.Cruising through the just gardens would probably take about an hour.Check out the pond cafe while while youre there.

Beautiful well maintained park in Hartford. Fountains in ponds, flower gardens, places to walk and cycle. Expensive restaurant in the center area that I dont know much about, but they decorate for halloween like nowhere else! A must see!

Look amazing and feel fresh. A lot of flower and walkway, water with duck. Good for walking, biking, read, hang out, relaxing. Recommend to go there during spring but not a very sunny day.

Spectacular! Such a variety of roses maintained to perfection. And if you get to visit with one of the gardeners, even better.

They always do a nice job maintaining the Rose gardens here. Its the most beautiful place to go.

What a beautiful place. I stopped by here to find some mental clarity. Elizabeth Park Rose Garden is located in very close proximity to Bradley airport. I highly suggest the quick detour.

I always enjoy a relaxing stroll through the flowers. They are well taken care of and always very beautiful!

This rose garden filled with history is one of my favourite places. The grounds are meticulously maintained and those who fall in love with the park are encouraged to volunteer within. Community events always feel special here as generations have gathered on the lawns.

Beautiful roses. At peak now. Remember to bring your masks.

Most beautiful public park.

Had a great picnic in the park under the oak trees with a perfect view of the rose garden.

This place is great place to take nice pictures and have fun with your friends. It also has a lot of flowers Im memory of people. If you are looking forward to taking great pictures and having fun in the sun you should go there. And the best time to go when the flowers are in bloom is during the end of June and beginning of July. These pictures are all the pictures I took at this amazing place.

My favorite place. Simply the best. Kids will also will love to play with geese in the lake, in the tulip garden and many more attractive place to explore. Obviously I liked the lakeside restaurant and there service was also very warm and welcoming. loved it

Beautiful roses. There were a lot still blooming at the end of august. They have a perennial garden and dalhias too.

Very pretty garden dispite missing the Roses in bloom.

If you love roses you must go here. Its magical.

Wow! Dream place! Wonderful place for time pass.

Extensive gardens, lunch spot, all very well maintained. A great place to visit.

We always have dependable dining here. Good and prompt seating. Wide range of choices on the menu. Rhe proced are reasonable and its always clean.

Absolutely a worthwhile place to visit! Loved the beautiful gardens and walking around the clean and tidy grounds.

We live about an hour from Elizabeth Park. It was well worth the ride. Walking paths are very nice and flower gardens are very pretty. Issue was no rest rooms.

Is the awesome and the mazing place you can see i lov it

Great place to go to relax.

Quite nice. Even at end of Spring, the place had flowers and was well maintained. No charge to enter, plenty of parking even on a beautiful Sunday afternoon.

I got married here and I recommend it to my mother in law and she also got maTried there too. Great place to see some beautiful roses. Bring your dogs and take awesome pictures, kids and just friend with blanket conversing. We took great pictures here. I would recommend here for shoots

Very beautiful public and free garden. They have many different species of roses and although they weren’t all in bloom when I went, it was very pretty already. If the garden restrooms aren’t open you can always go to those of the pond house!

A beautiful place to walk or picnic. Garden is in full bloom.

Beautiful gardens and plenty of open space so you can social distance

Lots of good socially distant visiting. Beautiful setting and good weather.

I love this park. Every year since 2014 we visit there with family & friends. Recently we went there for photo shoots in Rose garden & tulip gardens. You can enjoy sitting in front of beautiful ponds watching ducks & other birds. Thanks!

Its cute and filled with so many types of flowers

One of my favorite place to visit everyday

Beautiful rose garden, definitely worth while visit! Best to go when it’s sunny.

Very nice and simple. AND, FREE

Best rose time is June-July but it’s enjoyable anytime. Well laid out garden with a gazebo in the middle. There is a beautiful perennial and annual garden as well that attracts the butterflies in August and September.

Its beautiful in the summertime.

Right around the corner from my house. What a jewel to have to go to any time I want. Beautiful park to walk through and enjoy

I love the different variety of flowers they have.

Still a lively and lovely with weddings, folks out for a stroll, and the wowing over the flowers.

This is an amazing wonder place both manmade and natural. You can own it. That is, you can sponsor a brick that pave the pathway there. Its awesome.

Beautiful park but every other person is doing a wedding photoshoot or something and its a public place so theres a lot of aggravated people trying to get a good shot.

Good place for a stroll, lots of greenery around!!!

The Rose garden at the Elizabeth park is amazing when the flowers are blooming! Its lovely with all the different types of roses. Always great to relax and enjoy the nature. Its often crowded in the summer months.

My mother went here to the Rose Gardens of Elizabeth Park when she was a kid. She took us here growing up many times. She came to visit the beautiful roses all her life. These gardens were a part of her life. You might say a part of her was left behind in this garden...

Always a pleasant time. Flowers are well put together. People are friendly. Definitely one of my favorite spots

Officiated at a wedding for family. Covid has put a damper on many public places

Beautiful Park!!! Wish I had more time to spend there. Gorgeous bloom.

Lovely.. loved the flowers and the scenery

Gorgeous! Ever rose and flower had bloomed when i was there. Park is kept cleaned and well kept

Been going here for years, beautiful all year round. Great for picnics, walking, stoller friendly. Impressive gardens!

Beautiful place to relax and take in the scenery, top your date or evening off with a wide variety of roses at the rose garden, always a good time

We had our civil wedding ceremony here. It’s was so beautiful.The best time is the end of June, when all the roses are blooming and it looks like a fairy tale.

Very beautiful flowers nice place for photo sessions and a nice leisurely walk around

If you need a small walk filled with some flora you can actually casually admire, this is the place to be. When the flowers are in full show it may be busy and a bit noisy. All adjacent grounds are appealing too and worth a visit. Parking is spread out. Theres a sit-down place to eat and a small path/ trail on the grounds.

Elizabeth Park is one of the most amazing public parks I have ever seen. In addition to the rose garden, dont miss the other gardens located to the west. Looking for a great meal? The Pond House Cafe is one of the best restaurants in this region.

Its beautiful. Bring a carryon for a baby instead of a stroller because there are less paved paths than youd expect. The Cafe prices are great but it was closed.

Very nice well maintained garden. Never very crowded

Serene, beautiful and friendly

Beautiful, but best to go a little bit later in the season. Also, bathrooms were locked and porta potties werent maintained and lacked toilet paper.

Beautiful as always. Even a lovely wedding.

It is the perfect spot for pictures, picnics, wedding ceremonies, vows renewals.

Awesome garden. Beautiful park with plenty of space to picnic, yard games, socialize etc.

Beautiful peaceful park with nice places to walk..bike ride..picture take and enjoy the outdoors

Beautiful flowers and decorations!

Such beautiful flowers and park! I always love to come here.

Beautiful gardens and open spaces. Parking lot is closed due to COVID to deter/prevent crowds. We only saw 2 porta-potties (not enough).

Place is beautiful! Definitely worth checking out.

Always beautiful and relaxing

The walking tour was nice and informative

A beautiful place to visit; relax and enjoy the tranquility surrounded by flowers.

If I didnt have family in my photos I would post just how simply beautiful this garden is. The archwork is amazing

Roses are blooming in the park, very beautiful

Beautiful park with lovely flower gardens.

Very nice place to visit and wall around

Absolutely gorgeous. Also a lovely place for a physically distanced walk.

This is an absolutely beautiful place to visit. Its a good place to walk around and have a picnic.
