Roper Park

Gainesville, Florida

Welcome to Roper Park in Gainesville, Florida. What was once a parade ground and section of the East Former Seminary is now a nice little urban playground. The picnic area has grills.

The park's official website says 1.5 acres but the GIS map gives the number below. Thus the exact acreage is unknown.

To contact the Gainesville Parks and Recreation office please call 352-334-5067.
