    It is a beautiful rose garden. There are a lot of roese. There is a small playground nearby. People also have a picnic. It's dog friendly park. I see a lot of dog s here. However if you come here on the weekend it is a bit difficult to find a parking spot.

    This is great place for nature walk, picnic, relaxing. When I visited over the weekend, there are so many wedding photography going on, so naturally a great place for photos. Try walking trails inside the garden that would lead to small water falls and nature gardens. Family can spend 2hrs, entry is free. On weekends, there will be ice cream truck.

    It is such a beautifully curated and cared for garden. The gardeners do a spectacular job with it and this garden is just magical during peak bloom, which this year was right around now (end of May). As a professional photographer in northern VA, Bon Air is truly a gem to shoot in.

    Such a lovely small park! When I went there at the end of May, there were tons of roses growing everywhere. This location was well-kept, tidy, and clean. Your every shot will be fantastic. Many others were just strolling along the walkway, admiring the beauty of the garden, or stopping occasionally to take pictures, as I observed. Anyone in this garden seemed beautiful, at least to me, because it worked its spell.

    Beautiful rose garden with so many roses that when you get out of your car in the parking lot you immediately smell the flowers. Many varieties, including some that look like peppermint candy. Well worth a trip to check out especially if you're already in the DC area.

    Very nice public park. Great for leisure walks. I had bad experience due to some locals smoking weeds in the park.

    It's a very pretty space, with room for socially distant relaxing and picnicking. Families were sitting on the grass, old ladies and couples on benches and a young family was having their formal pictures taken by a photographer. We're probably coming back with friends to play some tennis and have a picnic.

    Lovely and picturesque park with a beautiful collection of rose and pollinator gardens. Follow the paths to shade gardens, creeks, and walking/biking paths. A dog-friendly and kid-friendly stop!

    Such a beautiful location to “stop and smell the roses”. Nice park to walk around and enjoy the beautiful roses from different gardeners. It’s also a great spot to take photos.

    A lovely place to go on a walk or enjoy a picnic lunch. We went in November and the roses were still blooming but beginning to die. There are lots of trails and beautiful areas. The day we went was a bit cold, but it wasn’t crowded. Very nice.

    This beautiful park is nestled within a well-heeled neighborhood in Arlington. Even early in the year, the blooms are magnificent, and the scent on the breeze is sublime.

    We just discovered this tiny gem of a place and it’s so beautiful. Will definitely come back to see the flowers when they are in full bloom

    Loved the small rose garden and it's layout. I will take a star away mostly because it doesn't feel much like it's a "people's garden" it felt haughty and elitist. I would have liked to see more information about the roses and the history of those who tend this garden instead of promoting the endowment.

    ***DON'T PICK A ROSE FOR A PIC**** Great public place maintained and managed. I went there for a shoot and saw many wedding and candid shoots happening when I arrive there. Limited parking at park mostly you can find one quickly.

    Don’t steal the bushes!!! Beautifully maintained park, a lot of people take pictures here for special occasions. Take a break from your phone and smell the roses.
