Huntington Bank continues to invest in Detroit neighborhoods in a big way - they recently awarded a $25,000 beautification grant to Grandmont Rosedale Development Corporation (GRDC), to be divided equally among the five Grandmont Rosedale neighborhoods, to help us spruce up our surroundings.  This is the third year Rosedale Park has received $5,000 from this generous Huntington grant.

This year RPIA is pleased to put those funds to work through an island beautification program, to give a 100% matching grant to any block that invests up to a maximum of $150 in making their island beautiful.  Eligible expenses include dirt, mulch, grass seed, flowers, perennials, shrubs, landscape blocks, tools, fertilizer, weed killer, boulders, seeds, flower pots, stakes, etc.  Grants will be given on a first-come, first-served basis, with an August 1st deadline for submitting hard-copy printed receipts.

Blocks that want some new ideas or suggestions can request free advice/consultation from members of the RPIA Garden Committee, who are happy to drop by and assess your options with you - call Carolyn Murphy (313-838-1768), Ruth Remus (313-587-5697) or Deborah Tunstull (313-549-1339) to set up a visit.

BUY LOCAL

Tina Castleberry, owner of The Garden Bug,18901 Grand River, is delighted to hear about our beautification efforts and will support blocks making purchases at her business by offering a 10% discount to each block.  This locally owned and operated garden center is only open till June 25, so don’t delay!

Welcome to Rosedale Park!

We are a community of nearly 1600 households, located on the northwest side of Detroit. Our neighborhood has received historic designation, in recognition of the fine architectural styles and diversity of our homes. Our neighborhood association, the Rosedale Park Improvement Association (RPIA), was founded in 1929, and is one of our most valuable assets. Check out our web site and learn more about our activities, our publications, and our personnel. Contact us to let us know what you think.

The benefits that we derive from living in this beautiful neighborhood depend upon a commitment to our community and a respect for the rights of our neighbors.

Read the RPIA Creed below:

TOGETHER...the families of Rosedale Park have created a good place to live in - a place that preserves the pleasures of living in a small town though it is part of a large city.

These pleasures emanate from the pride of ownership that maintaining the good appearance of their homes as well as maintaining desirable living conditions.
Through their efforts, civic improvements, social activities and other projects have been accomplished to conserve the joy and increase the pride of the community.

As a resident of Rosedale Park, this is my heritage!

Therefore...in appreciation for the work that has been done to establish this highly desirable neighborhood and to prove us worthy of the friendship of our neighbors, I PLEDGE MY FAMILY TO...

• Treat our neighbors as we would like to be treated.
•  Maintain our home in good condition and appearance in accordance with the requirements set forth by the Detroit Historic District Commission.
• Be law-abiding and counsel our children in good neighborly behavior.
• Drive safely and sanely, obeying stop signs and speed limits in the park.
• Respect our neighbors' right to peace and quiet after dark.
• Control our pets and responsibly care for them.
• Keep our street and lawn clear of litter.
• Put our trash at the curb after dark and not earlier than the evening before collection.
• Promote the continuing friendship of the people who are a part of our community.
• Cooperate wholeheartedly with the aims and efforts of the Rosedale Park Improvement Association and attend its meetings whenever possible.

City Living is Great....It's Best in Rosedale Park!
