Roosevelt Park

A Slice of History

Situated in Fort Wayne since 1919, this small retreat was named after Theodore Roosevelt, America's 26th President. The locals back then must have been big fans of his leadership style, and honestly, who could blame them?

Small But Mighty

Don't let its 1.5 acres fool you - Roosevelt Park might be compact, but it packs a historical punch. Nestled between Main Street and Camp Allen Drive, it sits near the peaceful St. Mary's River, offering an excellent breather for neighbors and passersby alike.

If you're into local landmarks, you'll appreciate the view of the historic Carole Lombard house visible from the park's edge - a little bonus bit of Fort Wayne heritage while you're enjoying the greenery.

Beyond the Boundaries

Feel like stretching your legs? The park connects to Fort Wayne's Rivergreenway trail system, making it an ideal jumping-off point for a longer walk or jog along the water.

You'll come across Orff Park nearby too, which means you can easily hop between green spaces if you're in the mood for a more extended outdoor adventure.

Urban Sanctuary

In a city setting, Roosevelt Park provides a small patch of natural space within the urban landscape.

Its quiet atmosphere offers something increasingly precious - a moment of calm in the middle of city life, where you can pause, breathe, and remember what trees actually look like.
