Roseville Area Youth Baseball recently held a field <br />cleanup day, special thanks to the group for their efforts. <br /> A sustainability grant of over $200,000 has been awarded for Rosebrook Park to support the <br />addition of a recirculating system at the planned splash pad and to reduce heat island effects <br />through natural and built shade. The Request for Proposal (RFP) for the water feature and <br />playground update will be released once the grant documents are finalized. Staff have also <br />applied for additional grant opportunities, including a $300,000 Natural Resources Grant and <br />a $200,000 Emerald Ash Borer Grant. <br /> The Live at the Rog free concert series will kick off on June 8 at 6:00 p.m. with a <br />performance by TaikoArts. Additional concerts are scheduled throughout the summer on <br />Sundays and Thursdays. <br /> The Roll-In Movie at the OVAL is scheduled for June 13 at 7:30 p.m. and is expected to be <br />the final movie shown on the old scoreboard. Community members are invited back on July <br />11 to check out the new scoreboard during a screening of Wicked. Special thanks to the <br />Friends of the OVAL Foundation and the Midway Speedskating Club for their generous <br />contributions, which allowed the city to purchase a larger scoreboard than originally <br />anticipated. <br />Rosefest will take place from June 23–29, 2025, with a full week of community celebrations <br />and events.
