Rogers-Lakewood Park

 

 

The Pristine Pleasures of Rogers-Lakewood Park...

The 122-acre park is one of Valparaiso’s premier facilities with activities that include hiking, fishing, and boating. Rogers-Lakewood Park is also home to the area’s disc golf course, Flounder Skate Park, Discovery Day Camps, and Discovery Teams course. Plan your next family or neighborhood event at Rogers-Lakewood Park.

 

Look for additional Rogers-Lakewood Programs throughout the summer!

 

Amy Pendowski, a mother of three, became a “regular” at Rogers-Lakewood when her oldest enrolled at Discovery Day Camp during the summer months. “When both parents work and school is finished for the year, you want to be sure that your child is in a safe, stimulating, and fun environment,” commented Pendowski. “Discovery Day Camp at Rogers-Lakewood was the answer, where my son made new friends, explored new interests, and gave me the peace-of-mind knowing that he was in good hands.”

 

Like many Discovery Day Camp parents, the opportunity to get to know Rogers-Lakewood Park soon turned from a necessity into a regular pastime destination. Whether your passion is hiking, biking, fishing, boating, picnicking, or simply catching a few rays in the sunshine, Rogers-Lakewood provides something for every member of the family.

 

For the sports enthusiasts, Rogers-Lakewood is home to the area’s only disc golf course. For the X-treme sports crowd, Flounder Skate Park is the place to grab your board, skates, or bike and practice your skills. And, for teambuilding exercises for corporations and other groups, the TeamWorks program can be customized to meet your needs. Also there is the Lakewood Link, a 2-mile foot/bike path that enters Rogers-Lakewood just south of the main vehicular entrance. There is no charge through this entry. Unless entering on the "Link" all vehicles pay the seasonal entry fee.

 

Consider Rogers-Lakewood Park for your next family or group gathering. Rent a shelter, stop by the Lakewood Park Store (open weather permitting) to buy supplies, and enjoy a day away. Be sure to come back to Rogers-Lakewood Park in the fall for tractor-drawn hay rides and fun alongside a glowing campfire.

 

There are a total of seven shelters located at Rogers-Lakewood Park: 1. Discovery Shelter, 2. Derby Downs Shelter, 3. Hickory Grove Shelter, 4. Oak Grove Shelter, 5. Kiwanis East Shelter, 6. Kiwanis West Shelter, 7. Big Wheel Shelter.

Contact the Valparaiso Department of Parks and Recreation for more information or to book your shelter for the spring, summer, and fall seasons. Enjoy the perfect party in Valpo’s pristine park setting!
