Make healthy choices
When Roseville residents get the couch potato blues in January, they think of the Oval. A year-round skate park, it’s a community gathering spot during all seasons. Slide on those skates and go for it like a true Minnesotan.
Anyone who tells you that this ‘burb' doesn’t have a bus service should get with the program. Get connected fast to either downtown. BIG NEWS: Starting in 2011, enjoy a new 460-space park and ride ramp at County Road C and 35 W for Express Bus service to downtown Minneapolis.
Another healthy choice: Roseville has our own Farmer’s Market. Open during the summer months on Tuesday mornings, it’s loaded with fresh, locally grown produce for even the most serious veggie-phobes. And for “do it yourself” gardeners, link up for classes on creating the gardens you’ll love.

Perhaps, your family wants to grow their own fruit, vegetables, herbs and flowers. And, that way, save money on food bills and enjoy the freshness, flavor and wholesomeness of home-grown produce. Gardening is a relaxing way to exercise and enjoy being out-of-doors. Roseville has its own community garden that is available to you and your family.
