Bon Air Rose Garden
The Rose Garden at Bon Air Park features over 120 different roses in a variety of colors and is a great spot to sit back and enjoy nature. The park also has playgrounds, picnic areas, and tennis courts. On really hot days, don’t be surprised if you see an ice cream truck driving by.
