Pride in The Park

Tomorrow, the Historic Roser Park Neighborhood Association will participate in St. Pete Pride for the second year in a row. While all of us residents regularly sing the praises of Roser Park, Pride gives us the opportunity to introduce the uniqueness of St. Petersburg’s oldest neighborhood to 80,000 visitors.

How many other Florida neighborhoods can lay claim to a picturesque park flanked by a winding creek, great nearby workplaces such as Bayfront Medical Center and All Children’s Hospital and historic brick roads on rolling hills with massive oak trees and one of the greatest collection of historic homes in all of Florida.

Not to mention the people—the people of Roser Park share a special closeness that not many other neighborhoods can come close to. It is a bond that draws the same regulars to monthly Roser Park porch parties that don’t even live here, and we welcome them every time.

Equally, it is this what has made the accomplishments of our neighborhood so successful in the past year. From the Art Festival and the Tour of Homes to the opening of Booker Creek and our Outdoor Museum and Walking Tours, we come together. Even councilman Karl Nurse pointed out our ability to "organize" at the recent opening of Booker Creek.

And of course, at Pride, our friends are helping us to create the best experience for our booth visitors. Please take a moment to visit and thank our sponsors for their support of Historic Roser Park.
