Thank you for your continued dedication to the Parks and Recreation Department. To protect public health and slow the rate of transmission of COVID-19 (novel coronavirus), all recreation centers, pools, and facilities managed by the Parks and Recreation Department will close to the public until further notice. For the time being, all volunteers are asked to stay home, Thank you.

Come and help The Balboa Park Rose Garden Corps maintain the rose gardens. We meet every third Tuesday of the month in the gazebo area at 9:15am. Inez Grant Parker Memorial Rose Garden is an award winning All-American Rose Selection Display Garden containing over 2,400 rose bushes in 180 varieties.

Please wear closed toe shoes and appropriate casual clothes. Bring any water, snacks or sun protection that you might need during this activity.

Inez Grant Parker Memorial Rose Garden is south of the footbridge that crosses Park Boulevard near the San Diego Natural History Museum. Take Hwy 163 South to Park Blvd Exit. Turn left at Park Blvd and continue to 2525 Park Boulevard. Since street parking is limited, park in either of the two lots to the north of the History Museum and take the footbridge to the Rose Garden. You can also take the Balboa Park Tram to the Prado stop and walk east along the Prado to the Rose Garden.
