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 Township Parks Department.
The Grand Opening was held in late October of this year and more improvements will be made in the
future including a wildlife observation tower on the river.
Come on out and check out this newest park in Ada Township.
It is located at 1010 Grand River Dr. SE
