While visitng family in Bowling Green, my wife and I took a couple of hours and visited Simpson Garden Park. It was July and the day lillies werre in full bloom. This is a wonderful park to visit and the various colors of day lillies are very impressive. I did not know there were so many different species of day lilies. If in the BG area, a visit to Simpson Garden Park will not disappoint.

Went to a wedding at this park the other day. The views of the Maumee river are beautiful. Great for taking wedding pictures with a wilderness back drop. The pavilion was both a little rustic from the outside but when you got inside it gave you the feeling of being a little homey. The pavilion seats about 120 people comfortably.
