The NRPCA also maintains an outstanding web site, www.northrosedalepark.org, which provides complete information about a wide array of programs and resources available through their organization.

The North Rosedale Park Community House, located at 18445 Scarsdale, is the focal point of activities in North Rosedale Park. It is used on a daily basis by the Civic Association and such groups as the Boy Scouts and Park Players.

The six-acre park surrounding the Community House has a playground, a baseball diamond and three soccer fields. Year round, hundreds of people take advantage of the Park's safe and beautiful environment for walking and jogging. In winter, the two soccer fields are flooded for ice skating. This is the largest privately-owned park in Detroit.

The building and surrounding park are owned by the members of the NRPCA. Maintenance and improvement of the grounds are paid through Civic Association dues and fees from rental of the Community House.
