R.O.C. Park — Attraction in Madeira Beach

I never knew this park was in my area. I found out from a tourist. Lol! I am so glad I was told, because it was such a humbling experience. ROC stands for Remember our Children. This park is dedicated to children whom have lost their lives. As you walk through the park, you will see rocks, benches and trees in memory of the children. You are able to purchase these through the website. The walking paths are very nice. If you are using a walker or wheelchair, you will not have difficulty maneuvering through the grounds.

There are tennis courts, basketball and baseball fields. I learned the park hosts games at this park. There is a bridge that you are able to fish from.

Abuse of power/ incompetent ignorance in charge. Have children that play sports here, involved in several adult leagues, go to most events held here and would say same problems time and time again but...

Great splash pad on the water in Madeira Beach! My 4 year old loved it!! Press the button for the water to start (be patient as it can take a minute or 2 to start). Stays on for about 10-15 minutes, then goes off to conserve water. Just press button again if you're still using the splash pad area. ROC Park also has piers to walk out on, you can fish, there's a baseball field, a field next to a stage, and a playground shaped like a pirate ship. Be careful to watch kids closely while on splash pad, as it is RIGHT next to the waterway, with no fencing to stop a child...
