Bon Air Park Rose Garden — Attraction in Bailey's Crossroads

Blissfully beautiful rose garden located in the hustle and bustle of Arlington. I was leaving an app in Falls Church , and I wanted to escape the city and avoid rush hour during the late afternoon . My trusty four legged companion and I walked the grounds of the rose garden to a stream in the middle of the park. Didn’t realize how much acreage Bon Air really held till we walked around the loop where there were cyclists , runners , and dog walkers alike dotting the trails . Every turn there was new forestry and scenery to be engulfed in. Truly a sight to behold . Stayed for a good two hours watching the sun set on a higher part of the hill overlooking most of the garden. There’s a playground for younger children to enjoy as well as a tennis and basketball court on the premises. Parking and directions were a breeze and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Good energy and flow was abundant , wonderful surprise...

Bon Air Park rose garden was a little gem we discovered unexpectedly. We were in Arlington and we were looking for things to see that don't cost a lot, and this one was free. And, you don't have to cross into Washington to see this one either. We watched the gardener there tending to the roses while we were there. They take a bit of maintenance to thrive the way they do. Every color rose was represented. The place was busy, as a young couple chose this location to get married while we were there. Still, there was still plenty of parking. Keep in mind a few things: Bees are plentiful in the garden, There is no visitor center, and The footing along the grass paths between the rows of roses is uneven in a lot of places, so be careful and it is a really enjoyable...

Bon Air Park Rose Garden A beautiful hidden gem in Arlington! If you love roses or just want a peaceful stroll surrounded by flowers, Bon Air Park Rose Garden is a must-visit. The rose collection is incredibly well maintained, with hundreds of varieties in full bloom during the season. I was especially impressed by how fragrant and vibrant everything looked—clearly a lot of care goes into this space.

It’s not a huge garden, so don’t expect a botanical garden scale, but the setting is charming and relaxing. There are benches throughout, shady paths nearby, and a lovely garden of perennials adjacent to the roses. It’s a great spot for photography, a quiet moment, or just enjoying nature.

Definitely worth a visit if you’re...
