Renzie Park Trip

11 years ago

Thought I'd share some photos from my Renzie Park trip. I wasn't able to snap too many photos since I was there for a spur of the moment trip with a crying two year old. Renzie Park is located in McKeesport, PA (Pittsburgh area).

I was amazed at this public garden. When I got back home and was able to google the garden, I learned that the Renzie Park garden was voted as one of the top 10 public rose gardens in the U.S. It has 2,000+ roses, and the beds are healthy and incredibly maintained.

Unknown, but still pretty

And finally, one cranky nephew. He did like the water garden, though.

Thanks for your little tour of Renzie Park, which I did not know about. I loved your photo of Moondance, which did look like luscious little dancing moons. I wish my roses were blooming as nicely as some of these beauties. Your nephew is a cutie, but definitely looks like he has an abundance of energy. You are very brave to take him to a rose garden!

Yes, the Moondance photos are very nice!

That cranky little rose at the end has some sharp thorns on it? LOL

That's was lovely, Jewelie, thank you! What a wonderful day you must have had! I wish my Elle would look like that. Funny, my Dream Come True always has a lot more yellow in it than that one.
