In detail
The landscape features the city describes at Lake Cliff Park, in the order a visitor meets them.
Begin at the northwest entrance.
The pergola and the multi-tiered rose garden are here. The pergola is built of sandy yellow and burnt orange stone in a Beaux Arts design.
Look at the pool and fountain.
The cross-shaped layout surrounds a rectangular pool and a fountain with a rosebud motif.
Take the staircase to the lake.
A staircase leads from the street toward the sunken lake that the park is built around.
Notice the trees by the water.
Bald cypress grow in the moist soil around the lake. Pecan trees and cottonwoods line the water's edge, and eastern red cedar stands along the east side of the park.
Look northeast.
