They had close the balcony. There is not enough to see. The walk to the garden is nice and the neighborhood is full of history . There is ‘ the mouth of the truth’ in the front garden door and free drinking watter

Beautiful place to watch the sunset! 🌅 There was some construction going on when I visited, which partly blocked the view, but I still managed to capture some lovely photos. The garden is smaller than I expected, yet absolutely charming. Peaceful atmosphere — people strolling around, a man playing the violin, birds singing, and beautiful trees all around. It felt like a little fairytale. ✨

Cool spot for sunset, but it's under construction, so you can't go on the steps. You will need to put your phone through the fence to get a sunset Pic. Gets busy for sunset, so get there 30 min before or you won't have a spot to stick phone through the fence for the photo.

Beautiful park with a lot of shade from the umbrella pines. Orange trees also present 👍. Very peaceful. Potable water fountain is nice and fresh. The view of the city is still blocked for construction as of 09/2025. Maybe it will be done next year.

Beautiful garden! Pity that the place to see the panoramic view is currently under construction. Everyone minds their own business whether it’s dog owners having fun with their four-legged friends, a yoga group, or a serene watercolor painter. The garden itself has a very calming atmosphere.
