This West Side active-recreation area has been in the city’s possession for some time, but it recently got a massive makeover. It’s worth checking out, you can find it right along Chandler Street.

It was transferred from the school department in 1940, officially becoming a park. George Rockwood donated the land in 1940 with the intention of it being made into a park. The land had previously been used as a pasture.

Rockwood Field features five ballfields and a newly installed walking path sponsored by Reliant Medical. The newly created field that is located the farthest back from the parking lot, is best regulation fields in the region.

The fields were all upgraded within the last few years, including lights installed at the Jesse Burkett Little League Field.

Thousands of children have played ball at Rockwood, making it a special place.
