This is a wonderful park to stroll through and smell the beautiful roses. There is quite an extensive variety. There are classes or tours being given so that may interrupt the tranquility of your visit, but it is a wonderful garden walk.

Small and lovely garden. I don't enjoy crowds, so I wasn't able to appreciate the Portland gardens as much as I hoped. This was perfect. We went in early afternoon and had the place to ourselves. The roses were so beautiful and the scents were delicious. We got to enjoy the cool shade without hordes of people about. The perfect place to relax and appreciate nature.

Worth the look at beautiful variety of roses and see enormous redwood trees! Wide open spaces are fun for tossing a ball or frisbe to your dog. Close to the river bridge and nice for stroll.

I've read about this garden in other reviews. It is much smaller than what I expected. The flowers were in full fragrant bloom. The garden is surrounded by a well groomed park. It's a nice place to spend the afternoon with family or to read in a relaxing environment.

Drove over to the Rose Garden in Avery Park while exploring Corvallis. What a sweet park. Lots and lots of roses with arches and benches.

My daughter in law grew up going to this park, as did her parents and now her children! Beautiful gardens for relaxing or family photo's, and then there's the "dinosaur bones" and the locomotive for the kids to play on and the beautiful grass hills are perfect for rolling down!! Love it!!

While reading one of our travel books, Hubs had discovered the Rose Garden at Avery Park since he knows how much I love roses. I was eager to go, but was disappointed once I arrived.
We were there in August which should have been one of the peak times for the flowers. But the roses seemed neglected. They were sorely in need of pruning and appeared ragged and underfed. I realize that these are cared for by volunteers, but they could have done a better job. I understand that this wasn’t the Portland Rose Garden but I expected a nicer, well-kept garden.
I wouldn’t come here for the roses, but Avery Park is a nicely kept park in general with lots of well-groomed open spaces. If you want a family picnic or a space for the kids to run around, then this would be ideal.

I love roses, particularly heirloom roses. I believe they are best when showcased with other plants, or arranged to delight the eye. This is just a large square area of the park with rectangular beds of roses, mostly tea roses. It is attractive only the couple of monthes while the roses are in bloom, and then there is no point to visiting. It should have been designed more creatively. However Avery Park is very lovely, with enormous old trees, an antique train, picnic tables, trails, excellent birding and expanses of grass.
