Project Location
Berkeley Rose Garden, located at 1200 Euclid Avenue.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
This is a Measure T1 Phase 1 project.
With 1,500 rose bushes, 250 varieties of roses, and views of the San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge, the Berkeley Rose Garden is a popular attraction for both residents and tourists. The renovation projects were phased, starting in 2016 and concluded in August 2021. Improvements included: the demolition and reconstruction of the historic redwood pergola and trellis; accessibility improvements to provide an accessible path of travel from Euclid Avenue, to the public restrooms, playgrounds, the basketball court, tennis court, and to the center of the pergola; demolition and reconstruction of historic site retaining walls; and a completely new irrigation system. Renovations also included restroom renovation, tennis court repairs and resurfacing, new fencing, and various other site improvements.
