Community Campfires Want to have some friends over but feel your fire pit space may not be big enough? Grab your friends and neighbours and use one of the community fire pits as a meeting place for your next get-together. It’s free, and everyone is welcome. Bring a guitar, sing some songs, share some laughs; and don’t forget the marshmallows!

NEW VIRTUAL OFFICE As many of you have probably noticed, the office is not always being ‘manned’ during our open hours. Please feel free to call/text the park cell if you should need us and we are not in the office - we are happy to swing back to the office and help you in any way we can.

GRASS CLIPPINGS Just a quick reminder that grass clippings are NOT to go into the garbage bins - please toss them over the ridge. Decomposing grass clippings, branches etc will work to help stabilize the embankment, and limit further erosion. Office Hours:

Monday-Thursday: 10 am-4pm Friday: 10 am - 6 pm Saturday: 10 am - 4 pm Sunday: 10 am - 2 pm

SPEED LIMIT IN THE PARK The posted speed limit in the park remains 10 km. Please respect this, and remember to tell your guests as well to avoid unnecessary issues.

VISITORS We love having your guests share time in the park - please remember to let us know when friends/family are here so we are aware. The office needs to know about all visiting pets as well. If guests are staying overnight, there is a $5/guest/night fee. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

July - has 31 days, is named in honor of Julius Caesar, and inspires yearnings for warm weather, watermelon, and white wine.

Horseshoe Pits Did you know that we have horseshoe pits? Located in the green space behind the West Wash-house, there are pits and shoes all set up and ready to go - all that is missing is the players! It’s a great way to pass the afternoon.

Suggested Activities

Mark Your Calendars with these Upcoming Events:

Wind Up Dinner Join us for an evening of great food, fun, and reminiscing as we wind up the season. The date is Sept 9th at the Sundre Legion. Doors open at 4:00, with the cocktail hour starting at 4:30 followed by the supper at 5:30. The event provides a great opportunity to remember the funs times from the season, and say ‘see you next season’ to your neighbours. Tickets are available at the office, and will go on sale August 12th.

Lost and Found Lost - a Woman’s Columbia rain jacket, lime green in colour, size XL. May have been left in the quonset after the July 1st BBQ last year. If found, please return to the office as the owner is greatly missing it.

Found - Woman’s sunglasses with reading orbitals implanted in each lens - black with white gemstones on sides. Found by staff in recycling box. Pick up at office if they are yours.

Classified Looking to Buy something? Then you will want to check out the bulletin board across from the garbage bins. Here you’ll find various various items being offered by your Rosewood neighbours. And don’t forget to check back frequently as the items posted move quickly.

Looking to Sell something? Make up as small (8.5x11) poster/typed advertisement and bring it to the office - we’ll be happy to post it on our community bulletin board for you. As a heads-up, the park is moving away from having private ‘For Sale’ signs posted on the individual sites. If you presently have a ‘For Sale’ sign on your site, we ask that you take it down. If the target buyer for your item is a Rosewood neighbour, then the best place to advertise is on the bulletin board. If the target buyer is from outside the park, we suggest posting the item on an on-line marketing site (ie Kijiji, Craigslist, LetGo) as we have no drive-by traffic in the park, and your item will not be getting the exposure it needs.
