Roselle Park Improvement Plans Announced

Roselle Park Improvement Plans Announced

Future improvements to the popular Roselle Park in Ada Township

have been set.  The Master Plan calls for a new main entrance,

a Resource Center that will hold 75 people for meetings, a kitchen,

a veranda, restrooms, and adjacent parking.  Trails and boardwalk

would be extended into the park from this new building near the

new entrance across from Michigan Street.  Additional future

enhancements will be an Adventure Playground and a Picnic Area

for large groups.

Most of these future improvements are waiting for funding through

grants, memorial gifts, and donations by local individuals and service

groups.  If you are interested in donating funds, a tree or bench in

memorandum, contact Mark Fitzpatrick, Ada Director of Parks at

616-676-9520 or email him at mfitzpatrick@adatownshipmi.com.

Roselle Park Ada Michigan Grand River Natural Habitat Refuge

Roselle Park Ada Michigan Grand River Natural Habitat Refuge

Roselle Park in Ada Michigan along the Grand River is  247 acre park

that is a dedicated Natural Habitat Refuge.  On a rainy Saturday a few weeks

ago, we stopped and took  a few photos.  It was cold and windy but

the fall colors were great.  We walked on one of the trails along the Grand

River. A very peaceful place to visit. Dogs on leashes are welcome.

Silos at Roselle Park

These silos were left from the previous owner of the property. The one with

the stars on top has been made into a 9 story observation tower.

The Grand River is  the longest river in Michigan. It starts near Hillsdale MI and

winds it’s way north then west, eventually emptying into Lake Michigan.

This photo above  is just north of the confluence of the Thornapple River at Ada MI.

Roselle Park at Flood Stage Ada Michigan

We took a drive along the Grand River last week and took in some

local sites.  The Grand River was a full flood stage and it changed the

scenery in a few places. This short video was taken at Roselle Park

in Ada Township Michigan.  This park is a 274 acre natural preserve

right on the banks of the Grand River.  It normally has some swampy

areas, but nothing like the scenes in the video.  Usually you have to

walk about 100 yards to get close to the river.

Since we didn’t bring our wading boots, we stayed near the entrance and

just shot our video.  We will go back and photograph the park without

water soon.
