Went early in the morning just to be outside before the heat. It was amazing! Well maintained, beautiful rose garden. Nice park, flat, easy to get around.

This park is absolutely beautiful. Best in the early mornings before it gets hot, if you're out here in the summer.
The rose garden and small pond are great walkthroughs.
Also lots of great historic information.

Nice park in an urban setting. Lots of trails for running and walking. Fountains with ponds enhance the experience. Ample free parking available. The rose garden is a must visit, so many colours of roses.

One of the most beautiful roses we've ever seen π. Nice ambience and good size walking/running trail. Kids will love the swings in the park. Plenty of parking in couple of lots. Go out and get some workout. You will not regret it.
It might be best to double check to see if there are any reservations made for a particular shelter, if not I don't think an hour will hurt. But it's always best to check.
What time of the year does the flower garden look itβs best?

It likely depends on what you're after, as it's quite beautiful through cherry tree blossoms in early spring (April), through May/June in the rose garden, and the changing of the leaves in fall.
Its okay to see bright stars but if you want to see the Neowise comet or something, heritage lake or shawnee lake are better. For deep sky objects and milkyway, might need to go outside the city
No but there is a beautiful flower garden and pond with big goldfish.. nice walking track on perimeter of park .. tennis courts are on the West side of park.
There's street parking right by the rose garden. There is a parking lot nearby the garden specifically for handicap as well, so you wouldn't miss it, as it's handicap only.
Kids loved to feed the π¦! There is a play area and a shelter π for picnics or gatherings. Also there is the famous Rose Garden with benches & a waterfall! Lots of room for walking or running.
