The Central Gardens of North Iowa are a beautiful green space and public garden spread across almost three acres near the downtown district of Clear Lake. Open seven days a week, from sunrise until sundown, from the beginning of May through the beginning of November, the gardens are free to the general public to explore the meandering brick walkways and spend time simply relaxing or going for a stroll surrounded by artwork, stream beds, ponds, and themed flower beds. The Central Gardens also host a range of special events during the season, such as make-and-take art projects, crafts, beekeeping, and gardening.
