Rose Garden Renovations

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.
