    Lovely place. More control as to who visits the garden. 🤔

  • 4/5 Riaz L. 4 years ago on Google • 299 reviews
    Very good views of the gorge and lots of nice equipment for kids and adults inside the garden. It’s a common place for daily walkers and joggers. Had a good vibe and bonus is the Turtles at the Garden. There are also free roaming Monkeys which although cute, these are still wild animals and with kids there is s slight caution. Generally a very nice and calming venue - a must in MU

    One of the best parcs in beaubassin rosehill area. A bit forgotten by the inhabitants so it is not crowded and remains very well maintained. The air around is cool and hardly any trash lying around unlike some other parcs, sadly.

  • 4/5 Sweta Dhondoo (Deana B. 5 years ago on Google • 95 reviews
    Great place, calm and remote to all kind of noise pollution. Well maintained. It has its washroom, kids playground with benches and a kiosque with sitting.. ideal for meal. The parking is outside on the roads but it is quite safe, it has security guards at the doors and not to forget the giant tortoise park! Can improve on the grass maintenance. Had a great time with family last Sunday..

    Nice place, well maintained and very calm but it's not safe like before. There are plenty of monkeys that keeps following you. So if you're going with your kids or trying to picnicking, be very careful.

  • 5/5 Jason C. 6 years ago on Google • 95 reviews
    There was a lot of enhancement compared to what it was years ago. There are equipments for training and even a security officer at the entrance. I recommend for relaxation.

  • 3/5 Mooz 4 years ago on Google
    It's really nice to relax and chit chat. The only issue is that there are people that wonder the park who seems suspicious that analyses you from head to toe as if they are planning to rob you. Don't get me wrong because it's not a one time experience but all the time especially in time around noon where you might want to come hang out to have a break from the world.

  • 5/5 Dwijesh B. 4 months ago on Google • 35 reviews
    Nice place to go for a run! Make sure you check out the giant tortoises.

  • 5/5 Kerving H. 2 months ago on Google • 31 reviews New
    Very well maintained, green and very pleasant space for a leisurely stroll with family, lovers, friends or alone. The games and other leisure elements are in good general condition. You can also see giant turtles and sometimes rare birds!! Simply magnificent: a large playground with slide, swing and other games for children. The garden also has a well-appointed gazebo for shelter and/or picnicking. Facilities for endurance athletes are also available. The lucky ones may be able to see monkeys who sometimes venture there. The plus of the plus: a very beautiful view of the Balfour waterfall from the garden. Toilets are also available. The garden opens at 5 a.m. and remains open until 8:30 p.m. Parking: it is possible to park outside on the road. In short, a very complete garden in the middle of the city which is worth the detour. Bravo to the town hall of Beau-Bassin/Rose-Hill for these efforts to offer such a garden to the general public.

    Municipality needs to keep it clean. Beer cans, lots of dried leaves, dirty tortoise, old fencing amenities, security guard not on duty, people drinking beer around.

  • 5/5 Dee K. 1 year ago on Google
    A seemingly peaceful place if you wish for some quiet! Busy in the morning and afternoon with several inhabitants coming for their daily walk routines. You have to mind the monkeys if you are planning to have a mini lunch/picnic.

    - No entrance fees to the garden Balfour. - Relaxing waterfall sound and view.. - Outdoor games activities like slide, swing, seesaw, tunnel, jungle gym and more.. - Nature is always peaceful in addition there are monkeys and tortoises. - Sunlight, fresh air, walking barefoot on the green grass, especially the joyful face of the kids really helps to relieve your mind.
