The
Lyndale Park is found on the northeast shore of Lake Harriet in
Minneapolis, Minnesota, next to the Lakewood Cemetery and sits
between Lake Harriet and Lake Calhoun; just a portion of the large
green space the encompasses the city. The green area is spread
around the city, and is called the Grand Rounds Scenic Byway, and is
one of the seven districts that are located inside it, called the
Chain of Lakes, with others called, Theodore Wirth, Mississippi
River, the Downtown Riverfront, Victory Memorial Parkway and
Minnehaha. Lyndale is 61 acres large, with four garden areas; the
Peace, Perennial, Rose and Perennial Trial. The Thomas Sadler
Roberts Bird sanctuary is located next to the Peace Garden. There is
a marvelous arboretum that was created by Theodore Wirth in 1907,
and by 1915, the majority of the plants were in the ground. Numerous
of these plants are still blooming, with the larger collections
including crabapple trees and roses.
