Really gorgeous place for a stroll. I just wish dogs were allowed too.

Had a great visit here and enjoyed the atmosphere of the garden. Met a few people here that were tagging the monarch butterflies before they head off to Mexico. Very fascinating, it's true, you learn something new everyday if you pay attention. Well maintained paths and gardens make this place a joy to walk around. The choices of flowers and colors was amazing and the staff were hard working, yet made time to answer questions about anything in the garden. I saw the most ingenious item on a light post in the park, I thought it was hand sanitizer but in fact it was a sunscreen dispenser. Very cool and very smart especially with the weather in August being so hot ????. Enjoyed my time here and i would recommend spending time here as well. Very relaxing atmosphere with some wildlife mixed in. Chipmunks and squirrels will eat right out of your hand..

Absolutely amazing place. It has a magical feeling and it is beautifully designed, overlooking the lake.

A very beautiful and serene place with a lot of exotic trees and flowers. Has a cyclist path too for little children. Parking is available on site and at no cost. Lovely place to spend a summer/spring evening

Rosetta McClain Gardens is amazing and so much beauty during all seasons. Beautiful place to walk around with many paths and sights. Today in January it was still as nice as middle of summer. If you are looking for a spot to get some exercise or just sit and take in the sights it's a perfect location and parking.

Alice Hung

we visited mainly to see the tulips. they were in bloom when we visited! it was like a mini tulip fest. ????♥️ the only not so good about the place is the limited parking space. we visited in the afternoon and the lot was full. luckily, a car was leaving when we drove by the parking lot! the place was easy to find. washrooms are on site. it's a small park but it was worth the visit. I'd definitely go back there again.

Beautiful place to pass leisure time. I would love to visit repeatedly in this garden. Flowers, butterflies and flavours. In one sentence it’s just amazing grade.

Aasim Farman

Beautiful place for a walk, specially in the morning with a nice lake view. It’s not a busy place. Even tho there are leaves on the ground, it’s a clean place to freshen up and feel better. Parking was an issue but after driving for little bit found a spot on Kingston Road

Mark Christy

Very beautiful park. It is very well maintained. It's a really good spot to chill and take pictures.

Jocelyn Ball

A gardens that we visit a few times a year. Lovingly and well maintained, short walk among gorgeous gardens, great for families and very kid friendly. We have seen Oriole nests, lots of variety of Warblers, Birds of Prey, Hummingbirds, a variety of butterflies and bees and local wildlife. Great for migratory bird watching. Stunning flower and rose gardens. Beautiful old brick structure still partially intact. Even gorgeous in winter. An all around uplifting experience.

Staralee Rector

This park is absolutely amazing, the wide variety of flora is stunning. The central water fountain is beautiful. Walking the paths after dark can be exciting for those looking for a more spooky experience. Perfect place for taking photos for your special occasions. Also, a great place to watch the local wildlife including Racoons, Deer and Foxes.

This little hidden gem up on Kingston road is a nice surprise in the city. Although it is up on top of the cliff that is the Scarborough bluffs, the views are quite spectacular. You can see the rock beach below clearly thanks to the maintenance, there always seems to be many on staff here, keeping the place beautiful.its not huge but there is a nice rose garden of decent size and landscaping in the middle is fine, a great place to come have a meal or just hang out. It is not over rowdes here which is ni e and it attaches to roads and trails that connet along the water front. There are several benches to overlook the endless horizon of the water and washrooms on site. Parking does not seem to be an issue a d I found it to be quite peaceful and quite, the sound of the water more powerful than any road noise, despite its proximity. For.quick stop or break of a long one I'd say this hidden spot is sweet!

Jennifer Graham-Aspden

Beautiful flowers, lovely view of the lake, charming ruins of an old pioneer house, and a peaceful park to go for a stroll or sit and relax.

Rianna

Such a breathtaking park tucked just minutes away from the insanity of the city. Attended yoga in the park on a weekday evening which allowed for a peaceful practice while immersed in nature.

Tony Davis

Beautiful place with beautiful flowers around. Calm and quiet park with lots of path way to spread your legs and breath fresh.

Absolutely loved this place. Such a hidden gem in Scarborough. I have a few coworkers that know this area but have never heard of this garden. There should be better advertising. The washrooms were open which is a bonus. Wasn't too many people- very spaced out. I felt completely safe to roam around. Gorgeous views of Lake Ontario. Only downside is parking lot is small. Holds about 25-30 cars. Considering a lot of people would want to visit this place in the summer, they should consider extending the parking lot or adding a separate parking lot. Overall, highly recommend!

What a hidden GEM. It's history is also very interesting. Will make it a habit to visit more regularly to catch the gardens in their seasonal glory. The groundskeepers/attendants do a fabulous job of maintaining the gardens to enhance their beauty. Keep up the great job, it doesn't go unnoticed

Pooya Shirazi

The design of the garden is fabulous. You get to go thorough different mazes of flowers and trees which is amazing. You also get a view of the lake from above the cliff. Breathtaking.

Vijay Thakar

I have never visited gardens in Canada. This is my first garden visit in Canada. It was better experience, and I liked alot. It is very tranquil place to sit and spend some time with your loved ones. You can enjoy the lake view. You can also take your photos. It has many flowers and species.

Sahil Kathiriya

My favorite Park. If you come at the right time you have lots of private time to chill. I love this Park. The view of the lake. Lots of bird watching/owls/zen Garden. My favorite Spot to practise yoga. Very Close to trail that leads down to lake.Just walk toward hill.

J.Daniel V.

Such a beautiful hidden gem! The views of the lake are also unique! Great for photos or for a stroll

Raiyan Mohsin

A great walking, exploring and relaxing experience! If you love animals (birds, chipmunks), you can feed them if you want. Very beautiful and soothing place. They maintain it very well. Kudos to the authorities.

What an incredibly pleasant surprise to find this beautiful little park hidden away from the madness of the city! So quiet; so peaceful; so stunning! We only had an hour today so I'll definitely have to go back to explore the rest of it another time. The only drawback was that we didn't see many tables (at least in the entrance area) to eat lunch. Lots of benches, though.....

Faysal Ahmed

A place you can forget all your stress and enjoy the serenity of nature! Full of green and flowers.

Arif Mazumder

Excellent place for all day walk with family and alone.

Sweet hidden gem in Scarborough right by Lake Ontario, above cliff of Scarborough Bluffs. Quiet, beautiful and peaceful park with flower gardens and landscaping, very well maintained and clean! Great spot for photography! Nice place to come for a walk, have a meal or just hang out.

Bharat Shah

Accidentally but fortunately, we landed in this incredibly beautiful garden on the cliffs of the Bluffers beach. The garden, to our surprise, was expansive. The enormous, unending beauty was spread everywhere in the colossal area. In fact, one is tempted to click tens of photos, because of the alluring beauty anywhere one sees. Our group was awed by some rare species of trees that had bifurcated and multifurcated trunks. The humongous garden, full of the scenic views of the sweet- water-ocean from the cliffs, was immensely exhilarating and indescribable. It is worth visiting the ecstatic park on the cliffs of Bluffers park in Scarborough city, ON since you will be glad you did.

Khadione Stewart

Beautiful garden, parking is a little tricky so try to get there early!

Pramesh Hada

Beautiful Park, lots of foliage and small wildlife to see. No dogs, rollerblading, biking, picnics allowed. It’s a garden park for walking and taking photos. Clean well maintained washrooms and free parking on site. Water fountain both decorative and a small working drinking fountain.

Tumpa Moni

It's a hidden gem. Well-maintained paths and gardens make this place a joy to walk around. I really enjoyed my time here.

Moktadir Kabir

Nice park with flower gardens and rocky structures. Good for walking and family picnic. Parking is free but limited spots.

Quansheng Chang

Beautiful garden. Great lake view

Jagdeep Jassi

Gorgeous garden with well kept flowers and trees. Be warned that the parking lot is small and it is best to wait for cars to leave and take their spots right away. There are public washrooms nearby and many uniquely shaped trees. You can see the lake but there's no direct way down to the water.

Terri Spanjer

Our first visit to this very beautiful park. Our son lives nearby and "discovered" it on one of his jogs and had to share it. This park has been maintained with loving care and offers views within the park of carefully pruned large trees of great variety, and along its south side spectacular lake views. I loved reading the dedications of the trees and benches - often to a patron of the park, or someone who just loved it. Do visit these Gardens!

Update: Weather was nice and the flowers and garden was growing nicely. Washrooms were up and running and clean. Garden is very well maintained and clearly lots of work is put into it as the lawn is perfectly cut and the plants and flowers are labeled. Water fountain at the center rock was running. Also noticed the no dogs and no biking signs. 3d map with braille in the North East corner. It's an incredibly lovely and tranquil place to go to if you're in the area. Original: We went in the fall so the garden is bare and leaves everywhere. That said, it's a small and quiet garden with a nice walking path. Very small free parking lot on site and almost every tree and bench has a memorial plaque. Nice view of the lake and was quite a number of people when we went. Too high to see the beaches below. Likely stunning in the spring and summer. Has what looks like remnants of a small building in one corner. Nice quiet place for a stroll.

Guilherme Cavalcante

This place is so underrated! What an awesome view from the lake.

MUSFIQUR RAHMAN

Relaxing place, beautiful green all around. It's a garden not a park, so no playground or biking.

Tamjid Ahmed Talukdar

What a spectacular place to pass the evening. I didn’t know that I have fascinating place near to my neighborhood. Love the place. Colourful flowers and flavour just amazing
