Reader Rock Garden
• 325 25 Ave SE | Calgary, AB
DescriptionLocated just north of Union Cemetery, Reader Rock Garden is a historic site dedicated to William Roland Reader, Calgary’s parks superintendent from 1913 to 1942. The 3-acre land was originally Reader’s place of residence in which he transformed the area surrounding his home into a budding garden.
In 1944, a year after his death, the garden opened as a city park and was named in his honour. In full bloom from mid-March to mid-November, the garden features a stream and two pools, a small gazebo, floral displays, trees, shrubs, and numerous plants from around the world.
