Sara Hite Memorial Rose Garden
Planned and built by the Friends of the Milwaukie Center over a 10 year period, the Sara Hite Memorial Rose Garden is a premier garden featuring over 450 rose bushes, brick walkways, seating benches, a 3,000 square foot plaza and a 800 sq ft Gazebo. The Rose Garden is adjacent to the Milwaukie Center and is available for rental through the year. It is an excellent venue for weddings, cultural events and other events.
