Roselle Park in Ada Township ~ A 240 acre Nature Preserve

By
Real Estate Agent with Westbrook Realty Broker-Owner

            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

Hey Terry- You have some nice photos on your posts. Bonnie does a nice job. Anyways, I did a post on Roselle Park and the new bike path on Grand River Dr a few eeks ago. Don't know if you read it but I was curious if you had a chance to walk the trail at Roselle yet. It is gorgeous! I was also wondering if you knew when the township would be opening up the silo/ obsevation tower to the public? I should call the twp on that but thought you might have heard.
