By Clara James, About.com Guide

On the southeast shore of Lake Harriet, on both sides of Roseway Road, is Lyndale Park Gardens, with several garden areas. The formal Rose Garden has many varieties of roses. There is also a Peace Garden, a rock garden, an Annual/Perennial Garden and the Perennial Trial Garden.

During April and May, migratory birds make a stopover at the Thomas Sadler Roberts Bird Sanctuary which has a shelter to observe the visiting birds.
