The city of Roseville, Michigan is wrapping up a $2 million renovation of its Rotary Park, with plans to open the newly enhanced recreation space by Memorial Day 2026 or sooner. The 7-acre park on Utica Road will feature a splash pad, pickleball courts, a ninja obstacle course for kids, walking paths, and other improvements funded by a 2024 voter-approved bond measure.

Why it matters

The Rotary Park renovation is part of Roseville's broader efforts to upgrade its aging parks and recreation infrastructure to better serve the community. The new amenities are expected to draw more visitors and provide more diverse activities for residents of all ages.

The details

The Rotary Park project includes the installation of a splash pad, two pickleball courts, a ninja obstacle course for children, new walking paths, and a renovated pavilion. City officials say the park will be renamed to honor two longtime Roseville supporters, Maggie Rollinger and her father George Rollinger, who both served on the city's Parks & Recreation Board for many years.

  • The park was closed for the summer and fall of 2025 to allow for construction.
  • The Roseville City Council voted in September 2025 to rename the park after the Rollingers.
  • The park is expected to open by Memorial Day 2026, if not sooner.
