From the reviews

Really pretty park with beautiful views of the sunset from the top of the pavilion! Lots of flower gardens, a decent amount of paved walking paths, and even more unpaved paths I have yet to explore. Plenty of green space to hang out and lots of parking available. They occasionally host public events here as well.

★★★★★ — Angela, Sep 2022

The good review is misleading, but this park is not bad for a quick visit. What makes this park unique is the architecture that attracts people to come. Other than that there is not much I see to do. It’s a great place for wedding though!

Getting married at Ault Park

Ault Park comes up for weddings, going by their listing and couples’ reviews. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
