Ada Township’s Roselle Park is a fantastic slice of preserved natural

habitat on the Grand River. Roselle Park is unique in many ways.   It includes

240 acres of land and over one mile of frontage on the  Grand River.  The park

will eventually have over one mile of paved trail from the park entry back to

the Grand River, a barrier-free boardwalk and river overlook, canoe landing,

benches, litter receptacles and seasonal toilet facilities.

Grants, private donations and township funds

will provide $277,000 for development of

this unique park. Improvements are already

in progress to restore wetlands and wildlife

habitat in the park, through a “Partners for Fish and Wildlife” project jointly

undertaken by the Township, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Ducks

Unlimited.

Roselle Park is already being used for hiking, bird-watching by local birding

enthusiasts, cross-country skiing and guided educational tours sponsored

by the Ada Township Parks Department.

The Grand Opening was held in late October 2007 and more improvements

will be made in the future including a wildlife observation tower on the river.

A new walking path connects it to the community.

Come on out and check out this newest park in Ada Township.

It is located at 1010 Grand River Dr. SE
