Conservation Value
Roselle Park is an important natural area in the Ada Township with over a mile of river frontage as well as restored wetlands and meadows. These natural lands help protect the water quality of the Grand River and create a “greenway” along the river that supports wildlife.
History
Roselle Park was formerly pasture land owned by Ada Beef Company. Through a community partnership initiative in 2002, the Land Conservancy worked with Ada Township and the Ada Open Space Taskforce to turn the property into a township park.
