Memorial Park Rose Gardens
located in Rapid City, South Dakota 

In memory of the great flood in 1972 in Rapid City that took the lives of 238 people, this park was created on the spot where many of the devastated homes and small businesses once stood. One of the highlights of the gardens are the rose gardens which are located on the west end of the park. The roses here are classed as an AARS (All American Rose Selection) garden, the only one in South Dakota, with over 120 different varieties and over 1200 individual roses. The gardens also have a fountain and a small lake.
