The thirty acres of this garden have interconnected paths winding from one themed garden to another. Very little was blooming when we visited and parts of it looked a little neglected.
Although the path leading to the rose garden is marked as accessible we found this to be one of the most inaccessible gardens that we’ve visited. A long, slightly sloped downhill, paved path dead ends at the rose garden so turning around and going back up by that path is the only option. The other paths through the gardens are inaccessible due to steps, loose gravel, narrow passages, and uneven stones.
The garden parking lot is large enough for small RVs parked across a few spaces but some of the tree branches hang down too low. The parks division is aware of this but it’s not a priority at the moment. Overflow and large vehicle parking is located on Stratford Drive. Get directions and park across from the back entrance. The back entrance has a very steep hill that must be navigated to get to the gardens and I would not recommend it for wheelchair users. Ziker Park is very popular and on this beautiful Sunday the whole park was packed. A weekday visit would probably be better. Garden
