Loose Park Pond

Free curb and lot parking surrounds the park, with the busiest demand near the Rose Garden and playground. Respect neighborhood restrictions and event closures.

Park grounds are open daily 5:00 a.m.-midnight. In 2026 the sprayground operates May 23-September 7 daily 11:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m.; gardens and programmed facilities may keep separate hours.

Facilities are available near developed recreation and garden areas when open; do not assume late-night restroom access.

General park, trail, pond, garden viewing and sprayground admission are free. Reservations, classes, tennis programs and permitted events may charge.

The paved loop and formal garden approaches are broadly accessible; lawn grades, garden paths and older edges can vary.

Leashed dogs are welcome in ordinary park areas but must stay out of restricted garden beds, water-play areas and posted facilities.

The playground, pond and seasonal sprayground make an easy family circuit; the Rose Garden is a formal space with stricter event and food rules.
