The Rosetta McClain Gardens are a special place, designed to provide a feast for the senses. The raised beds are planted with flowers, herbs and ornamental plants, chosen as much for their fragrance as their colour and texture. At the center of the garden, a large fountain fashioned from a boulder adds a soothing soundtrack. While active pursuits such as sports and cycling are not permitted in the park, there are trails for walking. The edge of the park sits on the bluff, high above the lake, offering great views of the water, and if you're lucky, glimpses of cliff swallows and other birds.
