Usually when I walk along the manicured paths of the WPA Rock Garden in William Land Park, I see very few visitors. It's not crowded. Oh, you might spot a few kids playing hide-and-seek or the lone photographer snapping pictures of flowers, but the Rock Garden in Land Park doesn't have an abundance of people roaming through. I've been there at different times of the day and various days of the week, and it's always quiet.
In fact, I bet a lot of people don't even know it is there. The garden is sort of tucked away behind the pond and geese. You'll find an entrance on 15th Avenue just east of Land Park Drive. But you can also access the Rock Garden through the back by going up the hill from the pond, south of the golf course.
Depending on the time of year, you'll see flora and fauna in various stages of growth. Spring is probably my favorite time to visit the Rock Garden. Here are recent photos that I shot last weekend. I especially like the poppy in the last photo:
Did you miss Part I of the Rock Garden in Land Park.

You take like the best pictures; these are absolutely beautiful.
Thanks, Tom. Isn't that poppy cool? It's not a California poppy, either. I had surgery this morning on my jaw or I would have posted more. I have another bunch to post later.
Elizabeth- This time I need to know # 5 the red furry thing? what the heck is it?
We have our Poppy's starting to bloom they are so brilliant I do enjoy them. Thanks for sharing your photos.
Hi Elizabeth... These are even more gorgeous than the first batch! What a special place!
