Update 6/23/22: the garden looked pretty overgrown when I visited it today. Only the corner with the roses still looks neat, the lawn is weedy. Where have the little fruit trees gone? Too bad.

Always ensure dogs are kept on a leash and any waste is properly disposed of.

While the corner with the roses often looks neat, the overall character embraces a more natural, less manicured feel, contributing to its charm as a historical remnant rather than a formal park.
