Tennis Courts

Tennis courts can be found in Erickson Park at 14115 Brazil Avenue. The City of Rosemount built 4 new courts with the help of a grant from the United States Tennis Association (USTA). The courts are equipped with lights for night time play. Courts can also be found at Bloomfield, Charlies and Claret parks.

Ga Ga Pits

Ga Ga Pits are located at Camfield and Greystone Parks. Gaga ball is a game somewhat like dodgeball but played with a foam ball, and in an octagonal court or gaga pit. The game combines dodging, striking, running, and jumping, with the object of being the last person standing. Players hit the ball at each other with their hands and are eliminated if the ball strikes them on or below the knee. The game can be played by a group of individual players or with teams, as well as in one-on-one matches. Give it a try this summer!

Zip Lines

Zip lines can be found at Ailesbury and Schwarz Pond Parks.

Hammocks

Hammock Use in City Parks – Hammocks are okay to use in City parks and the City actually encourages people to find a spot to hang out. Often our City parks have mature trees that can be used to attach your “mock” to or you can also use the poles of a small sun shelter or playground to tie up to.

Nature Based Play

Schwarz Pond

Natural playgrounds help children to develop other beneficial behaviors in addition to physical skills. These behaviors include social skills, cooperation, and the ability to solve problems. In addition, natural playgrounds stimulate a child’s imagination and creativity.
