It was alright. Plenty of concrete walking paths with themed elements like the gazebos and some seats. The decorations were nice. The bridges seemed pretty cool. Overall quite enjoyable. I'd highly recommend taking at least a walk around there. Bonus points didn't see any homeless while I was out. Enjoy!

Neat Japanese garden and Japanese themed structures in the middle of Sertoma Park. Very quiet place, great for relaxing or unwinding after a long day. Big playground for the kids, or plenty of grassy space for them to run. I would definitely return if I'm in the area.

Peaceful and beautiful garden with a pond right in the middle of Grand Forks. The walking path is nice for taking a walk and most of the path is shaded by the many trees in the park, as well as the dense vegetation/tree part by the pond. Also a well designed and big playground for the kiddos, port-a-pottie on the grounds. Nice treat!

You walk through the Tori gate and....well you're left scratching your head. Where's the garden? At first we were left thinking the very weedy patches of trees was it. But you wander around and you'll find a couple of Japanese Garden staples..lanterns, rock fixtures and a bridge. Small but a nice walk around. Bonus they put in a Miyawaki forest project. Do a Google search to learn how this urban forest project works.

It was a nice little park, but far from a japenese garden. It was a pond with a few rocks around it and a couple ornate stone sculptures and that was it. No unique trees or plants, they didn't even have japenese lilacs which are common in the area. I think a chinese restaurant is probably more ornate than this garden was.
