Blog Reviews Peninsula Park Rose Garden Review

Peninsula Park Rose Garden Review

By Living Room Realty, June 18, 2019

While it does not have a dedicated dog area and violates the whole purpose of this series, Peninsula Park and Rose Garden is too amazing not to feature. The park is available to your canine companions however they should remain on a leash for as long as you are touring the 16.2-acre park in the heart of Piedmont neighborhood. Created in 1909, Peninsula Park attracts locals and tourists alike with its massive, french-styled Rose Garden. When in full bloom, the colors and majesty of the 5,700+ roses are one of the most beautiful sights in the city.

There are paths and trees to provide shaded spots where people and their pooches can be found lounging around, enjoying the natural beauty. The Rose Garden was designed by Emanuel L. Mische and showcases 75 different rose varieties including the official rose of Portland, Madame Caroline Testout. The rest of the park has a few athletic fields and tennis courts and, at the North edge, there is an informational community center where you can learn about the park’s history. Weekends often feature events and live music. For example, when we visited they had the Regional Tree Climbing Championship- which, as you can imagine, was awesome.
