Review & FAQ:
Rosewood Beach is one of Highland Park's four public beaches along with nearby Millard, Moraine, and Park Avenue Beaches. The beach, which is the city's only public swimming beach, was reopened to the public in 2015 following major renovations and has been the recipient of a number of national beach awards for features such as its unique Interpretive Center, which offers a wide variety of nature and ecology programming for visitors of all ages. It offers a public park facility located atop a stunning bluff overlook, with children's playgrounds and picnic areas available for visitor day use. Concession stands, boardwalk areas, volleyball courts, and kayak and paddleboard rentals are offered at the beach, along with a nature cove area and public amenities such as restrooms and showers. Visitors should note that parking areas are restricted to residents only, though alternative parking areas are offered nearby.
