Reviews
"We go to Roper Park alot. Everytime we get takeout at Mac's Burgers, we go to Roper to eat. Since we are fellow Methodists, this is the perfect place, directly behind the Church. This neighborhood has alot of personality. And only 8 blocks from Mac's. Our only concern is the picnic tables need more shade. Thanks for the access to your Park."
"We came here often when my kids were younger. A great kid park; age 2-11 especially."
"It was wonderful experience to visit Roper Park alongwith family and friends. There was live singing show performances. Lot of cabins for children's pleasure and participation. Food stalls. One stall was giving away books free of cost. Local resident Ms Pim showed us around and around Park and introduced old houses . Free sugar cotton was presented to children after making live on the spot. Thanks for arranging such a informative and healthy carnival."
"Great park with a sail shade over the playground. My kids enjoyed the zip like too. There's an open field for playing tag, Frisbee, or soccer."
"Love this park!! Its so peaceful and my kids love it there. We have our birthday parties there all the time!"
