Roe Jan Park in winter
When there's snow, the Roeliff Jansen Park is a great place for
sledding, snowshoeing and cross country skiing. The winter views are
wonderful -- particularly the sunsets -- so its also a great place for
winter photography. Even without snow the trails of the park are ideal
for winter walking. New trail maps are available in the kiosk.The park
is open sunrise to sunset seven days a week.
