Rowan Park
Recreation & Fitness
Rowan Park covers about 15 acres on West Rowan Street, just west of downtown, and the city's budget inventory lists it as a neighborhood park paired with an amphitheater. Its best-known feature is the Rowan Skate Park, an in-ground concrete design that opened on August 24, 2020, with a flow bowl and a multi-level street section meant to work for beginners and experienced riders alike. Skating is open daily from dawn to dusk at no charge. The same grounds hold pickleball courts, a picnic shelter and playground equipment, so parents can watch younger kids while teenagers ride the bowl. Groups can reserve the skate areas or the amphitheater through the parks administrative office on Lamon Street, which takes bookings up to a year ahead on a first-come basis. Rowan Park does not appear on the city's 2026 splash pad list, so families looking for water play should head to another site.
