A Major Disappointment
I was expecting a beautiful, well-kept park, but this is far from it! Grass was over-grown, flower bed were full of weeds, and there was trash everywhere. Homeless people were not uncommon and the restroom was the most disgusting that I have ever encountered. I wonder if it has ever been cleaned. We visited the Japanese Tea Garden and since it was a public park we thought that it would be free and open to the public, but there was a fee to get in. We did not visit any other the other attractions. It was difficult to manuver through the park as well because there are not signs to point you in the direction of attractions.
For a city park that is supposed to be such a high light of the city, I was very disappointed and would never recommend the experience to anyone.
