The garden was owned by a wealthy industrialist, Charles H. Pond and given to the City of Hartford to be a horticultural park named after his wife. The City hired the the Olmsted firm to design the park and Theodore Wirth to design the garden. He planted roses 'to please the people' and there now over 15,000 roses in the garden (seen at their best in June).

Beautiful Park with many points of interest including a lovely perenial garden, an interesting rock garden as well as herb and annual gardens. The rose garden is magnificent. The Pond House Cafe on site serves delicious food and there are some interesting birds around the lake. Designed by the Olmstead firm the park has some resemblances to Central Park in NY, in some of it's features. Be sure to look for the stone footbridge tucked in a shady spot banked by some tremendous Japanese yews. It appears as if the massive boulders of this small bridge are magically held in mid air. A beautiful place for a picnic, and relatively quiet on weekdays.
