Roberts Park

Park Overview

Roberts Park is breathing new life into what was once the site of Roberts Municipal Stadium in Evansville. Spanning 27.6 acres, this urban green space provides room to play, relax, and connect with nature.

Trails and Connectivity

The vision for Roberts Park includes a comprehensive multi-modal network of trails that will make it well-suited for your morning jog, a casual stroll, or a bike ride with friends. These paths provide both exercise opportunities and connections throughout the city.

The park's development plans include family-friendly amenities like playgrounds where kids can burn off energy, a performance pavilion for community events, and gathering spaces where neighbors can come together. The space aims to support both community activities and healthy living.

Recreational Areas

Need space for your next family reunion or birthday celebration? The park's great lawn accommodates events of various sizes, while picnic areas provide spots to enjoy a meal outdoors.

Sitting right near Wesselman Park, Roberts Park isn't just a standalone green space - it's part of a bigger picture to expand outdoor recreation opportunities throughout Evansville.

Environmental Initiatives

This connection to surrounding parks improves accessibility while supporting environmental efforts like reforestation and wildlife habitat preservation.

The city plans to maintain Roberts Park with adaptable designs that can change as community needs evolve.

Future Development

Looking ahead, Roberts Park will continue to grow with new features that cater to diverse interests, from sports facilities to quiet contemplative spaces.

What makes this park special is how it's being shaped by the community itself. Through public meetings and ongoing engagement, local residents have helped craft the vision for this evolving green space. As development continues, expect to see more emphasis on enhancing visitor experiences while incorporating sustainable practices to protect the park's natural resources.
