The Rosemount Parks and Recreation Department maintains and operates the parks and other activities throughout the community. The Adopt a Park program is one of the most popular opportunities that the department offers to residents and local organizations who want to take pride in their community and keep it looking beautiful. By adopting a park, you help keep certain areas maintained and you are also expected to report any suspicious activity that you see at the parks. There are dozens of organizations, families and individuals currently maintaining parks throughout Rosemount, including Girl Scout Troop 1392, the Murphy family, the Rosemount Moms Club and many more. For more information about the parks or about adopting a park, call (651) 322-6005.
