★★★★★Kayla DollLots of beautiful roses, that smell soooo good! Plenty of spaces to sit and have a picnic! There's also a park across the street with a catching pond
★★★★★RJDThis a review of the Adena Brook Trail and the Olentangy Trail. These trails are in Whetstone Park but are the last of the ravines along Adena Brook before it meets the Olentangy River. It is just as amazing as Overbrook Park and Glen Echo Park.
★★★★★Michelle NelsonThe Park of Roses never disappoints!! Absolutely beautiful!! 🌹 Definitely worth the trip several times a year, just to see all of the roses, plants, trees, bushes, wildflowers and herbs!!! Please forgive me if I have left anything out!! Make sure you use the restroom before you go though...no public restroom available, not even a portable restroom!! Makes the park very busy, lots of traffic and lots of potholes! Oh yes, watch out for the potholes, they will definitely take out a tire!!
★★★★Sandra ReilPretty place, but hard to find.You need to drive down lane all the way to the end where summer camp is bei g held. There's a sign in middle of a circle marking rose garden, but no directions as to which way to walk to find the actual gardens. They are behind a building that is currently closed.
★★★★Jabe MillerGreat play ground for children! Wonderful park of Roses. Park is entertaining to walk around and the flowers are beautiful. If you are in to pokemon go there is always a few trainers running around. It is a great spot to catch some pollywags or take short bike ride up to the library. So rather your biking on the bike trail or just need a new book whetstone is an entertaining place to stop in.
