Rossville Community Park Build
In June 2010, an active group of Rossville volunteers began a campaign to make city park a safe, fun, physically active place for children to be. Surpassing their goal of $130,000, new equipment was designed by Rossville children and built by Rossville volunteers. This truly is a community build playground!

The new equipment includes swings, slides, tire swings, arch rock wall, chin up bar, tree house, fire pole, climbing wall, chain bridge, and the "Dawghouse". The playground is fully accessible and features two areas: School-Aged (for kids ages 5 to 12) and the Tot Lot (for kids ages 2 to 5).

Community Swimming Pool

(2003-2007)

Once the dream of generations of Rossville children, the Rossville Community Swimming Pool became a reality on July 8, 2007. With hundreds of youth lined up, the clock struck noon and the gates to the swimming pool opened for the joy of each family in our community. The Rossville Community Foundation served as the main fundraising arm of the community pool project throughout the past decade and oversaw countless contributions by community volunteers, local business involvement, and corporate donations. The opening of the pool was once viewed as an impossible goal for this small town, but with the hopes of dreams of Rossville youth in mind, the community came together to raise millions of dollars for a new swimming pool.
