Very cute place. Entrance gate overlooks the bay and you can see the bridge. You go in and there is an amphitheater of roses with a small water feature at the bottom. One “side” of the garden has some courts for tennis/badminton (not sure) that are first come first serve. The other side has dirt paths and trees with a wooden bridge. Entry is free, but i’m not sure about parking. The bus runs right by, though. Also, there are so many insects!!
My favorite place to be in Berkeley. It is so pretty here. I love it so much.
Any time of year, the blooms are beautiful. In December, they were lovely but not as brilliant as the spring.
My Friends and Family really enjoyed The Rose Garden. Very meditating. Its cool to learn and smell the different roses. A beautiful place to go on a warm day.
A gorgeous garden in the heart of Berkeley. As soon as you enter the garden, you are surrounded by hundreds of roses. Each rose bush section has unique colors which makes you feel like you are in a fantasy. The theater-like design allows for a perfect view of the entire garden.
Beautiful spot in the middle of a lovely area with some incredible views. The garden is fun for a kid to roam, as the paths are almost like a little maze.
Beautiful park even late in the year, still some blooms here and there but more sporadic. There is some construction going on but there is plenty of space to walk around and smell the Roses. Beautiful view for sunset and lovely view of the bridge in the distance. Great time !!
This place is soooooo beautiful! If you love flowers go here when the roses are in bloom. This place has such nice rows of flowers and it is free. Bring the significant other or the family.
Beautiful flowers, view of the Bay & golden gate Bridge and a nice park across the street
Great park. Nice place to watch the sunset over the bay.
Beautiful place with great smells!
Lovely leveled rose garden with running waterfall and bridge. I dont think you can go wrong with a rose garden. Nice playground across the street too.
Excellent place to watch the sunset over the golden gate in addition to the expansive collection of flora!
Back in the old days a street car trestle crossed the little canyon where the street now is. Folks back then would take the stairs between the streets to get to this trolley line and some of those stairs still exist. The rose garden was installed. I think the garden was installed during the depression as a WPA work project and it is a beautiful, peaceful place worthy of a visit.
Berkeley Rose Garden is a beautiful and serene place with many pros:*It has a wide variety of flowers: dozens and dozens of different kinds of roses named on little placards, in many different colors.*You can smell the roses (hey, its a great way to live the expression, Stop and smell the roses) upon first walking up to the entrance gate*Since its in Berkeley Hills, you can see a lovely sunset in the evening with a view of the Golden Gate Bridge and the bay...I see people stopping and waiting for sunset at the top on the sidewalk almost every evening Ive been there.*It has a little creek and a hilly area with a tree kids can climb.*Good for various weather: most of the garden gets full sunlight, but there are shaded spots in the hilly area with many trees and little trails further up away from the roses*You can play tennis at the tennis court right in the garden.*Its across the street from Codornices Park, making for a nice day if you visit both.*Parking is free on both sides of the street.*It has restrooms with flushable toilets and sinks with soap and water.Cons:*It can be very busy with people doing graduation photos near the end of the school year, so plan accordingly.*Sometimes parking is hard to find right in front of the garden, but most times I get a spot right away.*Some roses missing the placards that have their names*It might be nice to have more benches around the garden, but you can simply cross the street and visit Codornices Park to sit or have a picnic.
Go here for moment of bliss in between gloom of 2020. Although under construction Rose garden is still accessible and can be visited. Generally not too crowded and you should be able to find a secluded spot to enjoy 🌹 and views of Golden Gate Bridge.
The Rose Garden is almost always a go-to haven for beautiful flowers and relaxation. Right now part of it is being renovated so access isnt full, but Im sure the renovations are worth waiting for. Havent been yet? Go in Autumn for the best blooms and East Bay sunshine. You wont be disappointed!
This is the hidden gems of the Berkeley Hills full of natural beauty! Lots of Roses and best place to hang around if you are looking for peace of mind!
Its a nice place to hangout on weekday evenings. Take a stroll, watch the SF skyline and have a chat with a friend. There are tennis courts and other gardens in the vicinity too. During season, awesome collection of flowers - enough to cheer one up :)
A lovely little garden to have a walk!
Parts of it were under maintenance, but, besides this, a nice place to chill considering it is not very crowded and you also have some shaded spots to hide if sun is too strong.All in all, a nice place to go and relax
Beautiful during the peak rise season. Lots of people, like wedding groups, come to take pictures here. It’s free but can be hard to find street parking nearby. Here you can also catch some great views of the bay. Not wheelchair accessible to go down but views from street level are still impressive.
Entry is expensive if youre a couple ($24 for two people), but the garden itself is incredible. Such a unique thing to see such plant diversity in a small space.Come with a snack + water, good shoes, and lots of energy. Youll easily put miles on your feet wandering around. Cute little gift shop where you can pick up some unique plants for your personal garden as well.Definitely worth the visit.
Best time to go us now... April showers bring May flowers. The Roses are in bloom, the air is fragrant and the weather mild at a sunny 63°. Went before sunset 7ish, plenty of street parking on a Saturday evening.
A nice girl from store recommend to visit rose garden and I went it was nice. It is quite small but the walk up to is very pleasant. Bring a book spend a afternoon with sun and the sweet smell of rose, 🌹 what can be better?Location: Located north of downtown Berkeley, 30 min walk from downtown Berkeley BAR station.
A bit of a walk from the Berkeley campus, but worth every step! I would think that the best time to visit is late spring or early summer when all of the roses are in bloom. Its not very easily accessible to those with mobility issues, but there is a viewing area at the top that would be suitable for all to enjoy. Everything is labeled, making it easy for gardeners to find new rose varieties to add to their home. A must see if visiting Berkeley!
Place is currently being renovated thats why its closed. However, you can still smell the scent of roses and see the rows of roses from the road.
Always a lovely place to visit whether the roses are blooming or not! Beautiful bay and Golden Gate Bridge views...some go just to view the sunsets. Benches for relaxing and lingering. Tennis courts and Codornices Park (great for kids and picnics!)across the street, accessible also by short pedestrian tunnel. A long time go to place in Berkeley hills. Good to walk up to from No. Berk.
Beautiful place to stop. Limited wheelchair access in that only 2 levels & the restrooms are accessible.I loved how each tier was a different color...plus a tranquil little waterfall at the bottom.
Well maintained rose garden with trails and a nice playground nearby. Perfect for families!
It was a beautiful warm summers day to venture out to Berkeley in the late afternoon to check out the Rose Gardens. Honestly, I didnt know what to expect, I had heard parking would be a little difficult because there isnt a designated parking lot. But I didnt experience much difficulty, it just took a little bit of patience and a bit of driving slower, in search of a parking space. Parking is completely free and so is the Rose Garden.The garden wasnt too crowded, but there were plenty of people walking, sitting and admiring the flowers. There are plenty of benches along the perimeter of the many of the flower beds and there are tennis courts off to the side of the garden, which I thought was a little random.Currently the roses are in full bloom and theyre beautiful. Besides them being in their flower beds, they are in full view and capable of being photographed at several different angles. Like the Plant Tour I took last weekend at Tilden, there are small signs near the roses telling you what roses you are viewing.There are stone steps to the garden and another set of stairs towards more beds of roses. Be careful when going down the stairs, they are pretty steep and they are high steps.While the rose garden is a beautiful and peaceful place to be, I dont know how soon I will be returning, like I said its not a very large garden, i was able to see the entire garden area in about an hour.On a warmer less windy day, it could serve as a nice peaceful place to chill, relax, read or write. Its a nice leisure place to experience.
Love seeing the roses in bloom. Amazing varieties. Such great color and scenery. Awesome spot in Berkeley to visit. Tucked in the picturesque North Berkeley hills.
Park is free and such a neat place to walk around. Great place to bring your family. If you go past the tennis court and under the bridge it brings you to another park with a giant slide. I recommend you use the cardboard to go down the slide. Lots of fun!
An amazing rose garden up in the Berkeley Hills. There are many various rose types and multiple color variations. Try to find the rose color you think is the most intetesting or beautiful. At the top of the rose garden you can see out over a portion of the SF Bay on a clear day.
What a lovely place to see an amazing variety of beautiful roses and such a amazing view!!
Worth a visit! Parking isnt easy, especially on a weekend but well worth the hassle. We spent about 90 min just walking around and lounging on the benches. Obviously its a seasonal thing to get the full effect but do much fun
April -June are probably the best times to visit. May appears to be peak time for roses to be in bloom. There are large variety of roses to see. All for free with live music on Sundays.
Ah, the fresh scent of roses, and so many. Quiet, meditative place. And what within my budget (free!).
Great garden. The roses are pretty and they smell good. Pretty easy to walk through: not handicap accessible though.
This place is great to walk around and see so many variations of roses that you didn’t know existed! There are plenty of benches to take some time to sit back and relax.
Fabulous gem of a garden with huge array of roses in an amphitheater-like setting offering panoramic views of the SF bay and Mt Tamalpais. Built by the WPA in 1937, connects to Codornices Park through an under-street tunnel. Lovely anytime of year but truly spectacular in May-June at the peak of the blooming season.Giant Sequoias line the path to the tunnel. Go through the tunnel to access Codornices Park and treat yourself to a walk though the redwoods along Codornices Creek. At the top of the park there is a little grove of meta sequoias (dawn redwoods). This is one of the spots in Berkeley you can see all three types of Sequoias in one place. (Faculty Glade on the UC Berkeley campus is another).
Its still beautiful in the fall. I love the completed construction.
Always beautiful! Visit @cavemanshots on instagram to see more photos from bay area locations!
What more can I say, slide through and take a deep breath and rejuvenate from the floral air. Dip down far enough and sit on the park bench at the bottom and contemplate life for a minute or two as the water streams beneath you.
Very pretty, very peaceful compared to the stress of the city around it
Beautiful garden! The roses are still in bloom 🌹
The roses that are there are aromatic and therapeutic. Loved it but I look fwd to when the garden is greener and rosey. It was a bit on the dry side but then again its sunmer. Next door ia a tennis court and across the street is a park so the area is quite lively.
Beautiful amphitheater style garden with lots of benches and a view to the ocean. We went there at the end of February and saw the first blossom of the garden - A “ red planet “ .
So beautiful and so many different types of roses. Very well taken care of and large. Glad we stopped here
First time visiting Berkeley Rose Garden. It was a beautiful day and the park looked beautiful. We had a nice picnic. Will be going back soo.
Great spot to stop by and do a variety of things. I see many people read, draw, work on their laptops, and also just hanging out with friends or family. Blooming season is absolutely gorgeous, but its actually pretty nice regardless of what time of year. It can get very hot during the summer if you go between 11am and 2 PM so bring a hat or umbrella!
It’s a beautiful and pleasure place to be. And the rose’s smell are wonderful.I love to go there.
Lots of construction going on right now. Could have been prettier. Im sure it will be
Absolutely gorgeous! So nice to walk through and see and smell the roses!
They are upgrading some areas of the garden and the roses are beautiful.
Beautiful garden with beautiful view of the city - park across the street is fun too!
The rose garden was very beautiful. We walked up here from downtown Berkeley and it was a bit of a hike but worth it. One thing was that in some places smelled like garbage. They need to do a better job of managing that. But it was a great place to go if you like looking at flowers.
Its was a beautiful place with trails and lots of roses.
Wonderful. Sight and smell.So many varieties of roses. It blows my mind
Stunning amphitheater of over a thousand kinds of roses. Gorgeous views of the bay and San Francisco skyline
Very pretty rose garden. Good place to go for reflection.
Nice garden did a stroll with another park across the street
Such a beautiful and tranquil Park.
I love this place and area in general. The park slide is fun and safe. The across the street has basketball court and walking trail. The rose garden is beautiful and well taken care of, thank you to all that volunteers gor your hard work.
Wonderful spot for strolling and taking in the scene. But its in bad need of repair. Thankfully a renovation project is underway, though it may take a couple years to complete. Once completed, it will warrant five stars. (2017)EDIT: The trellis has been fully renovated, and the garden looks spectacular. Five stars. (2022)
Public tennis courts are nice roses could use some TLC
So beautiful and peaceful i almost fell asleep at the park across the street both places are worth going to and its so much fun....
A beautiful garden with roses in bloom most months of the year. The plants are well maintained and gardeners are constantly working on them around the clock. As of April 19 the garden is still under construction, so half of the garden is inaccessible, but the other regions are more than enough if a reason to show up!
A nice garden situated on a hillside. Because of covid, some of the entrances are closed.Due to the fact that the garden is on a hillside and 🦌, the garden is corden off with heavy non-automatic doors and full of stairs which makes it super unfriendly for folks with disabilities.Parking is street parking only. The garden also has a tennis court, public bathroom, and several picnic tables.As far as the roses, it was not the most impressive rose garden with limited varieties. The amount of roses was also underwhelming. The location itself is challenging and the garden makes good use of the land its on and tried to pack in as much roses as possible. The result is that the garden felt a bit cramped. The walkways are pretty narrow between the rose patches. (Not possible for social distancing) BUT it is free and its in the middle of Berkeley, given all the constrains, I am giving it a 5-star for the effort.
I felt like I had stepped through a portal when I entered the gates of Berkeley Rose Garden. Beautiful bliss & roses bearing thought provoking names.
A little piece of paradise in Berkeley. I feel good being surrounded by many fragrant roses. 😌🌹
Pretty big garden with views of the bay. You can smell the flowers from walking on the street.
Great place to come and relax. If you are just visiting the area this should be one of your stops.
So glad the construction is finished. Do stop and smell the roses......The roses were more beautiful in May vs in June
Love the Berkeley Marina! My wife and I visited today and we brought lunch from home. It was a beautiful, sunny and slightly breezy day! We enjoyed our furry visitors (not sure if they are a species of the squirrel family) but we made 4 new furry friends who LOVED mixed nuts! Plenty of parking!
Really beautiful area to walk around. Roses were not in full bloom but still enjoyable.
Very pretty. Could use more benches in a mix of shade and sun.
I love this place literally the best place to go if you are having bad time !!! This place won’t disappoint you .
Very beautiful.. such an amazing place to go to and enjoy
Really great views, nice outdoors. Part of the garden is closed at the moment cause of renovation im assuming just based on the orange tape. However, theres still a small section available for viewing with some benches for sitting and its a really lovely spot.
Beautiful greenery that visitors of all ages would enjoy.
Beautiful
The Berkeley Rose Garden is quite nice! It seems like the roses bloom from at least April through... the fall? Im not sure, but they have quite a variety and some truly gorgeous and unique plants. Its good for a quick visit--definitely dont plan to spend more than an hour at most there.Note, it is on a pretty steep hill, so keep that in mind if you have any mobility issues.
Not a lot of blooming flowers in late Nov but it was still nice place to spend some time checking it out anyway.
Lovely place for kids and wedding photos!
Beautiful place for picnics.Thank you!
There werent roses when visited but it the scent of them lingered.
Always a magical place to visit. The exploring of the place, the magnificent views, the park accross the street are rare to find in a city anywhere. It didnt get 5 stars because they are rebuilding the main pergola, resurfacing the tennis courts and providing better access. Im sure that after the wirks are concluded it will shine even brighter.
Super lovely when the rose flowers are in bloom. Loved all the many types of roses at this garden.
A nice quiet place to enjoy and relax. Climb the stairs, explore, look at the creek. And try to identify the many different types of roses. There is a gate around the whole garden. So its fun to explore the whole grounds.When I visited the tennis courts where closed for construction. When they are open, the courts are a nice neighbor too either watch or to play afterwards.
Very beautiful spot in the bay. The garden terrace looks like it was always there. Its currently going through some maintenance on two of the upper terraces. You can still get to the lower terraces by following the dirt path that is to the left if you are facing the bay. Its much safer than jumping the construction fence.
A beautiful walk, lots of great flowers. Good for photography.
We love the Rose Garden! It’s a place we frequent often . Taking the kids and the dog along for a family friendly place to spend time together. We love the parks here. The tennis courts. Of course the Rose Garden, and the sunsets from here are some of the best I’ve seen on the West Coast with uninterrupted views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the Bay Area! Highly recommend this place for anyone and everyone!
Great place. good point to see the sunset.
Beautiful sunset, the roses were gone in February :(
Beautiful, however few roses in the winter (as expected)
Hidden little gem in Berkeley. We traveled as a family to bring my son from. L.A. to UCBerkeley for school. Found it just passing through and picked up some Zacharys pizza , had lunch and enjoyed the outdoors. We will definitely be back to visit.
We were fortunate enough to visit this lovely garden in mid-May when most of the spectacular roses were in bloom. RThere is a very wide variety and many of the blooms are colossal. Breathing in the fragrance around you is a treat, as is marveling at the many colors. The spot is gorgeous, with rose bushes set along paths that wind down a hillside. It is steep and not appropriate for the disabled or small children. The view is incredible, and the attraction is free. You will have to find parking on the street which could be a bit challenging. During the Spring, free concerts are held on Sunday afternoons
Was not much to see most of it was ok..they were not blooming or di ed. Nice to just sit and talk not much beauty scencs really needs work and improvement ..first time there ..at least it was free to get in..not that big of a place
Beautiful, not much parking place and not much grassy areas to sit on but plenty of benches and chairs!
Beautiful roses of all varieties, sizes, shapes and colors!
Must see if in Berkeley! Beautiful views and serene experience.
Lovely roses, a bit of serenity in a noisy world. Steeply raked paths might be hard for some walkers, but if you can do a bit of a climb, its worth it.
The rose garden is situated within the residential area, opposite to a park. There is no entry fee and it seemed like an open garden. There is no separate parking area but you can park in the streets.The garden is in an open stage plan area. There are different kind of roses throughout and benches for resting and spending time. Looked like a perfect place to spend a quite romantic evening.
Beautiful space
The rose garden is easily accessible by car as there is generally a lot of free parking nearby. Plenty of seating within the garden, though the walkway maybe too steep for those with wheelchairs or impaired mobility. Best time to go is late spring or early summer. There is also a small vantage where you can see the bay and lower Berkeley from the hill.
I love this rose garden. Its so beautiful, even when the roses arent in bloom, but when they are its absolutely gorgeous. Grab a good book pick your view under an arbor and have a great hour or 2 or 3.
Large variety of roses, well cared for. Accessible if you can walk (its terraced, and more steps than ramps), uncrowded, and free. Public restrooms were locked and unavailable. Whats the point of having them?
This time of year the flowers are not as beautiful but the tranquility is still there highly recommend going.
Journaling at the rose garden is one of my favorite things to do
Its an interesting park. Like the collisium layout. Roses were in bloom when we visited in May. Takes 30 minutes to stroll around.
Great layout nice sunsets very accessible to general public and nice upper park ti recreate in with sports and dogs.
Great place to come alone or with friends and family. There are beautiful views of the bay, a small stream, trees, and of course, roses (depending on the season). The sunset over the water with the trees and garden in the foreground is worth the drive or walk from elsewhere in Berkeley.
Nice garden nestled in the hillside with some pretty incredible views of the city. The roses all have placards identifying the individual varietal, which was nice to see. The garden was a bit unkempt, but no worries there. Overall a nice place for a quick visit. When we visited, parking was free and plentiful, but your mileage my vary.
Beautiful rose garden in a nice, quiet neighborhood with great views of the Bay. Park and tennis courts adjacent, street parking and lots to explore make this a great place to spend a few hours. Highly recommend swinging by and checking it out!
I need to remember to go back in a couple months when the construction is done and the flowers are actually blooming. Really cool views, and a nice place to sit.
Such a beautiful selection of roses. Well kept garden. There was some construction, but now its clear. Best time is late spring, early summer, but there are always some roses in bloom throughout the year. Great view of the Golden Gate Bridge in the distance from the top.
Took my son here for his 1st birthday photoshoot it was beautiful...
Beautiful place. Its being updated and its turning out beautifully. The work looks great! Somewhere u can take your family and enjoy the surroundings....😎
Awesome place, different varieties of roses color shape and size. Great place to take pictures but plan to go there in the evening or morning. You also get a good view of the bay, from the top. Nearest hiking destination is Indian Rock garden of you plan to visit. Also you can volunteer at Rose garden at ten am Tuesdays and Fridays.
Gorgeous garden.. laying on a stadium size land with easy access in to the garden. + Handicap accessible ..But going down a hill. so be mindful the way up is going to be a bit steep..great trail park across the street
Nice place to see beautiful flowers bloom and grow during spring
A November visit is certainly not optimum for roses in bloom but the view of the bay is very nice. We enjoyed the solitude of our morning visit in this restful place. We hiked up Euclid from the UC campus and got a hilly workout for our effort. If you stroll onto Scenic Drive after leaving the Gardens, you will delight in the views as well. Look for the large elephant sculpture at the end of the street hidden in a side yard!
I love, love, love this place !The view is gorgeous, you can see very far ! You can seat on a bench and dream for hours.There are many different varieties of roses, all of them so beautiful. There’s a tennis court adjacent to the garden and a little tunnel to go to cordonices Park (park & playground).
This public rose garden is a must see at least once. It does have a fair amount of up hill/down hill walking (just like the rest of Berkeley). Its placed as shelves in the side of a hill, so expect lots of stairs. Expansive collection of flowering roses. There are just a few benches for rest. The roses with scent seem to be concentrated on the first few levels near the top, which is nice to save the scent seekers a few steps. Access is totally free, however parking might be difficult as it has no dedicated parking lot.
Got there to late but was still a beautiful place
Great variety of rose plants and great view of San Francisco Bay.
Beautiful place to go with friends and family or alone. Theres a park across from it and I enjoy taking my children to see the beautiful sight
Its a lovely location, but many of the gates were locked and the plants werent well kept -- lots of overgrowth and faded flowers.
Gorgeous terraced rose garden in a unique setting. Not super accessible as it slopes downwards. Beautiful views of the Bay, benches to sit and relax, meditate. Tennis courts are right next door and a park is across the street. Fairly easy street parking.
Nice place for relaxation, studying, maybe even after a date... not a park for exercise like the Oakland location and parking is even more difficult to find.
Its an enjoyable experience every time I go when the roses are in bloom. They are clearly labeled for the most part, and its fun to walk through and get a whiff of the different varieties there. Its well maintained, even despite the drought. But roses are drought tolerant anyway. There are some areas closed off due to reconstruction. Not sure when it will be completed. Its a challenge to keep it out of pictures somewhat.Parking is available on the street wherever you can find it. Signs advise to keep valuables out of view. Apparently its a high risk area despite the presence of this beautiful garden.
Great for people who love flowers. Good for a walk from Shattuck and nearby areas. Dogs not allowed in the park. (But theres a dog friendly patch right opposite the garden in case you decide to walk there with your dog).I think visit during spring is the best of all seasons.
Be prepared to be wow-ed! This is a rose haven...bring a camera...and take time to explore this treasure trove. Classic: Stop and smell the rainbow of roses. We love to stop in - take a walk and enjoy the veritable rainbow of color.
This is a nice place to spend a lazy afternoon. Its picturesque and a small jazz trio was playing music by the adjacent tennis courts. Lots of different rose cultivars and the smell is as if youre standing inside a rose bloom its that strong.
This lovely rose garden is in an unusual, very beautiful setting. Its located in a large, natural bowl. The bowl has been terraced, so there are about eight levels of plantings. The gardens are spotlessly clean, the roses are well-labeled, and there are many benches.
For the most part it was okay. New experience and adventure for me. The rose garden is currently under construction so parts were closed off. Overall, I enjoyed myself
This garden is very useful for families outing. Lot of facilities are available.For children they can play different games. for families barbeque facilities are there.Large forest like area is there for walking Wash room and drinking water is available. sunny day this place is very good
Was driving by the Berkeley Rose Garden. Had to stop for the gorgeous view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Since it is winter, there arent many flowers in bloom. However, it is still a beautiful place to stop and enjoy the scenery and smell the roses.. There were many families and joggers nearby. Take the time to enjoy what mother nature has to offer.
Beautiful place to watch the sunset over the Golden Gate Bridge. This amphtheater shaped rose garden is on the side of a steep terraced hill. The design allows visitors to view vast areas of the garden from a single vantage point.
Hear the sounds of running water and birds among the smell of gardening. Kids play at the park behind you so you feel a sense of community as well. One of the first places I visited on my first time in Berkeley. I have seen it in summer and spring now and it is nice to see the work that goes into preparing the blooms.
Extensive collection of roses.Beautiful. My husband had trouble walking up and down stairs though.Great views of bay.
Amazing place for Rose 🌹 lovers ❤️
Its nice but its locked for the time being. cool that they put a padlock and everything on it to keep people select people out. this is as of mid-April, dont know if its usually like that but it ruined the experience.
Took some pictures here for my daughters engagement photos. It was slightly disappointing because there wasnt any roses... very, very few. We still got good pictures, though. The park area across the street is nice.
The roses were beautiful
This is a great place to visit and get some R&R in. I came here last week and was impressed by all of the wonderful roses. They also have a nice park on the other side of the street which is great for kids. The day I came I took the bus and it is a bit of a hike to get up the hills. If you do take the bus you will not need to go to the gym. I can not express how beautiful it was and the surrounding neighborhood. I would definitely be going back.Street parking onlyFreeClean bathrooms located outsideNice area for eatingTennis courts located next to the garden.Use the tunnel to get across the street with out having to cross on top.Park across the street is great for kids to run and play with a basketball court.
This is a beautiful and well maintained garden.If you want to meditate or enjoy the roses and views... You will be delighted.
A beautiful garden to walk through.
Lots of roses and quite a good selection too. great place to watch the sunset from a bunch of different locations. It looks like they finished the construction on some of the extended features of the garden making it a nicer place to be overall.
I was surprised that any city has a park like this. There are probably 40-50 different types of rose here, all labeled. At the right time of year, it smells beautifully of fresh roses and comes alive with color.There are also nicer public restrooms available. An awesome neighborhood gem
This is one nice place to be in. I am a fan of this place , this garden is locted in Berkeley hill area and if you have kid 3 and over, they will love it. It can be viewed as a maze with numerous types of roses. When you walk down the steps, there is a small creek flowing and a tiny bridge. From the top of the garden, you can view of bay Nd golden gate bridge too. Across the street is a park for kids and a basketball court too. Be there znd enjoy!
An extremely beautiful place with not only a beautifully vast array of roses but also an extraordinary view of Berkeley from the top entrance of the rose garden & tranquil little creek at the gardens base. Highly recommend especially if on a first date & trying to impress via a different approach, away from the usual dinner, movie, club, bar etc type of thing.
Perfect time of year to go. Very healthy roses with a wonderful variety of fragrances and colors.
Its sunny, so bring a parasol. Many of the roses have tags so you can find them and plant em for your own garden if you like. Usually there are multiple plants too so you can get a good idea of the varuation and habit of the plant. Right now is maybe peak season for the garden. Right across from cordonices park, which has lots of parky things like picnic tables, etc..
Great view. Nice roses. Nice place to relax. Very close to the city centre. Unfortunately the mask guidelines are highly ignored at the moment by some people
Theres tennis courts (no clue how you schedule them) and a public restroom. The roses are behind a fence. According to the sign, hours are Dawn to DuskTheres no parking lot, just street parking, and the street goes right through the park. One half is a normal park with a kids activity area/climbing gym, and across the road, and down a reasonably steep (definitely not wheelchair safe) paved pathway is the entrance to the amphitheatre shaped garden with over 100 varieties of roses.Theres ample benches, the smell is amazing, and it looks like heaven on earth.Also theres a pokestop a poke gym there, but aside from us, nobody else apparently was willing to walk that far from the road. 100% worth it
Beautiful view. Try to get there for sunset over the Bay, or in Spring when the roses are in full bloom. The nearby parks are also fun to explore. Street parking is usually not very hard to find. Restrooms nearby.
Beautiful and serene environment. The colorful roses adds up the beauty overall. Very nice place to hang out with family and friends.
Gorgeous, just gorgeous! Great place for a wedding or just to get your groove back. Stunning roses and arbors with a spectacular view of the bay and some of its islands and bridges. Right across the street from Codornices Park. No off-street parking is available and on-street parking is minimal.
Come here around April, you can find the greatest shape of roses.
One of my favorite Berkeley spaces. Beautiful garden with a wide variety of roses. During summer a little unattended but S.I.P. I think may be the reason.
My favorite spot to go and chill in North Berkeley. The entrance is free and you can come and go as many times as you want, strolling in the beautiful garden and smelling all the roses. Highly recommended to go back a few times to see the different roses that bloom each season
Great place for photoshoot or place to meditate. The view from the top is a masterpiece and the place after it rains looks like a heaven. A garden of Eden in the heart of Berkeley. Good place for a picnic or a date. Weird wooden bridges but overall great place.
Beautiful gardens, built into a natural amphitheater in the hillside. The garden was designed and laid out by the WPA in the 30s, and even today, it remains as wonderful as ever. Incredible variety and number of rose bushes, with the best displays starting around February. It also offers great views across Berkeley to the bay.
Great sunset view.
Beautiful location. Great place to hang out and chat with a friend. There are also a couple of geocaches nearby if you do those. This would be a nice place to hang out and read/study if you go to school at GTU or Cal. Also, the bus from downtown BART goes directly to it up Euclid, so no matter where you are along that route, you can quickly get there.
Lovely location, everyone masked, wide assortment of roses, great for picture taking.Easy street parking.
A stunning variety of roses, layered in terraces descending from the street level to the bottom of the bowl. Apart from sniffing and relishing the flowers in other ways, you can take in the Bay views or catch up on your stairmaster routine. The garden is nested in the beautiful North Berkeley neighborhood, perfect for a challenging walk in the hills.The Codornices Park across the street is good for a barbecue and a game of softball.
Beautiful place to go for a stroll or just enjoy a beautiful scenery as you read a book or eat a snack.
Its very beautiful place
Love this place so much!
If the sunset looks like it might be good one, this a lovely place to come and chat with a friend or someone special (maybe bring a wine bottle in a paper bag. Not really much of a walk but In the summer the roses are in bloom.
This is a pretty small garden. Nonetheless, It’s beautiful when the flowers are in bloom (~May). The garden itself is really quiet with ample benches.
Great place for some fresh air, strolls and photography
Its a rose garden, so its an amazing spot to be. Cute little bridge area with water running underneath. Up above is a nice spot for sunset. And across the street is a great park.
Beautiful view of Berkeley and the bay and beautiful rises during the proper season. It can be tough to find parking nearby though. There are several benches scattered around which are good for romantic picnics.
Beautiful garden! Enjoyed my time here. Ample street parking
Beautiful place.
One of my favorite gardens in the Bay Area. Oakland and Marin both have beautiful options for a little nature in the city, but Berkeley takes the cake.Best panoramic view of Berkeley at sunset, and nicest kept garden by the city. Serene and sweet, this spot has tennis courts, benches, creeks, and Tilden across the way to boot.GREAT for picnics (although no food inside the garden) across the street.Go here to relax, reboot, escape, and become a bit with nature.I genuinely appreciate Berkeley more for this spot than any other place in the city.Con: the restroom needs a little renovation. The tap does not work well.
The construction work has almost finished and the roses are in full bloom. Prepared to be stunned by their beauty!
A great place to visit. Lots of beautiful roses and nice atmosphere.
Beautiful rose garden in Berkeley.
Lovely place to be during the Spring and Summer seasons! Also a nice place to play some tennis.
Lovely roses. My understanding is April/May is best viewing months.
Beautiful roses, peaceful place great for contemplation
Under construction. But beautiful none the less! Most go. Plus the park across the street is great for kids. Once we go back to normal.
A lovely and historical park in Berkeley.
Great rose garden. unique layer/tiers layouts. There were a few people who brought dogs in even though there were signs....

2022-05-19What a fantastic spot to visit! Beautiful terraced plant beds chock full of roses. Really appreciated all of the signs denoting the types and loved that multiples of each type were planted together. Such an impact! Also liked how the colors in the amphitheater part looked like they transitioned from dark to light from the top down and in from the sides. Stunning! Also liked the winding trails, but wish they didnt lead to locked gates. But that just gave us more time to visit. Spectacular!

2022-07-03Very nice, and free, rose garden especially in the late spring. You could smell the roses when arriving there. It is relatively small but the view and the garden are worth the trip.

2021-10-22A beautiful spot to visit during early July.Some roses no longer existed by their plaques while some were unnamed. Fortunately, I was able take photos of some spectacular ephemeral blooms.A 30 minute slow walk down the rows of roses was all it took.Slightly unkept, and I suspect that it might be from crowds of people that visit.

2021-08-21Its a beautiful place to visit - and I would probably suggest looking for peak season to visit if possible. There werent roses in every bush but there were still many roses in bloom when I had visited. A lot of roses that had their unique smell so give them a sniff if you like floral scents! There are many bees polluting.

2021-06-07Facing the sunset on a terraced hillside, this rose garden is a romantic place to watch sunset and bay view. With thousands roses around, you can also enjoy a moment sitting on the lovers benches, wandering along the pergola arc once its completed, or stopped on the short wooden bridge. You can also see the golden light sheering through a tree house just above the fences of the park at sunset hours. Snack tables are present. They are also used for group discussion and study. Public restroom in the garden is in disguise rounded with flower wines. The garden has easy access with street parking. There is a tunnel for you to reach to the tennis courts.
