Rockhill Park

Rockhill Park is a 28-acre public greenspace located at Catalpa Street and West Jefferson Boulevard in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Established in 1908, the park offers a mix of recreational, historical, and natural amenities. The land, once part of the Rockhill family's farmland, transitioned to the Parks and Recreation Department following the annexation of the Westfield area into the city. Open daily from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., it serves as a convenient destination for residents and visitors alike.

The park provides a variety of amenities, making it an ideal space for both active and leisurely activities. For sports enthusiasts, there is a basketball court and a small ball diamond, complete with bleacher seating. Families with children can enjoy a colorful playground designed for toddlers and young kids, located close to the Rockhill Pavilion. The pavilion itself is a small, rustic structure with restrooms and a seasonal kitchen that includes electrical outlets, a refrigerator, and a cooktop. It accommodates up to 32 guests and is available for rental from April 15 to October 31.

One of Rockhill Park’s notable features is its walking trail, which connects to the broader Rivergreenway trail system. This path offers a scenic experience with historical plaques along the way, highlighting significant events linked to the area's past. The trail also makes the park a popular starting point for runners and cyclists.

With its blend of recreational facilities, historical elements, and natural beauty, Rockhill Park provides a versatile environment for community engagement and outdoor leisure.
