Please Join Us!
We have big dreams for Rouge Park. We want to continue to host activities that draw attention to the value of our beloved park. We want to see large picnic shelters like the ones at Belle Isle for family reunions and community events. We want to see new playscapes, benches, garbage cans and picnic tables throughout the park. We want better security and enforcement of anti-dumping laws and laws banning the motorcyles and ATVs from ripping up the park. We want to see our ball fields and winter sports area renovated. We want maintained bike paths and hiking trails. We want all these things, but we need your support and involvement to make it happen. If you love Rouge Park as much as we do, please join and come to our monthly meetings on the third Tuesday of each month.
