This is a very good park to visit and spend time. It has a little bit of everything. You do have to…read morepay an entrance fee during the summer months. There is ample parking once you get in though. The park has a little lake that you can swim in (if a lifeguard is precent). Around the beach/lake is a walking path, that does get a bit narrow in some parts. It is paved and well maintained. There is also covered pavilions around the park there are 4 decent sized ones with grills. One even has a patio that overlooks the beach/lake.In addition to the large and medium sized pavilions, there are a few personal sized ones scattered about the park. At the front of the park is an adequate baseball field. It is well groomed and ready to play on. Next to the ball field is a full basketball court. It is nice and has a smooth new looking deck. The rims are in good repair and have adjustable heights. I would love to shoot a few airballs here. In the back of the park is a dog park that is basically a fenced in area with a bench placed in there for you to sit and watch your pooch frolic. Behind the entrances to the lake is a sand volleyball court that needs a little TLC. The net was down while I was there, but did not look like it would take much to get the court back up and running. The park has two playground areas. The bigger of the playground areas is next to the baseball field. It has some pretty updated and newer equipment including, see-saws, merry go rounds, rock climbing walls, swings, rocking animals, a saucer swing and slide. The ground is covered in wood chips and has rubber mats in high traffic areas such as under the swings. The playground is very impressive. The other playground is by the lake entrance and is ok, but not as nice as the one on the other side. It has a set of the older style swings and a small jungle gym with a slide. Both play areas are accessible though, which is cool. I really like this park and was surprised that this is the first review. You can spend an entire day here and not even know it. There is a lot to do and it is a very relaxing place. It is well maintained and has a friendly staff. definetley a must visit.

Valparaiso really is a beautiful little town full of towering trees, great local history, scenic…read moreviews, and friendly people. Rogers-Lakewood Park is definitely no exception. Situated on what appear to be a series of small lakes, this park has something for everybody. Our favorites included the rock-climbing wall, the miles and miles of trails, and above all, the paddle boats! Being our first time ever on a paddle boat, even as novices we got the hang of it pretty quickly! The young man who checked us in and provided us with our paddle-boat accessories was very friendly and helpful. I actually prefer the paddle boats at Rogers-Lakewood as opposed to the boats offered at other lakes because they were able to easily fit up to 4 people. We got to see a lot of friendly wildlife, including the cutest little beaver that a little kid dubbed "Justin Beaver." LOL! There are fees involved with this park, and be advised that the cost is slightly higher for out-of-state license plates. The park needs to make money somehow, mainly for the upkeep I'm sure, and we were glad to support such a wonderful park. It's easy to find, there's a lot to do, and I can guarantee you won't get bored!

There is a lot of room to spread out your bean bag games and have a water balloon toss. They even have a ball field if your group wants to hit the ball around. The covered pavilion fits about a dozen picnic tables to have a place for everyone to sit and eat, and stay out of the sun or rain. They also provide a large built in barbeque stand at the pavilion. There are basketball courts for those that wish to play, and a playground for the young kids to have something to do while the oldsters just catch up. There is also a large building when you enter the park where they have restrooms (very clean with soap and dryers), vending machines, and water fountains. This is really a nice park and is well maintained and kept up. Give it a try.
