Park District of Highland Park recently issued the following announcement.
On a sunny day, the turquoise waters and bright blue sky against the rocks and sandy beach may make you do a double take – Am I still in Highland Park or did I take a wrong turn and end up in the Caribbean?
If you want an exceptional experience at the lakefront, take a short stroll down east Roger Williams Avenue. As you get closer, you will start to hear a soothing breeze whistling through the trees and feel the sensations that invite you to come on down and experience the rare beauty of Rosewood Beach.
So, what are some of the unique ways residents are enjoying this beauty? We went to social media and found “Five Great Ways to Enjoy Rosewood.”
1. Blues Beater- When you are facing those Monday morning blues, resist hitting the snooze alarm and invite yourself to take an early morning stroll at Rosewood.

See the IC – Whether it is enjoying a cup of coffee with a friend along the outside boardwalk, joining one of the great yoga on the beach sessions, or dropping in with the kids for a nature-related craft project during a summer day the Interpretive Center (IC) at Rosewood is truly unique. Its stunning modern architecture and sweeping views of the lake is worth checking out. The center is also available for rentals during the non-swimming season.
