ROSEVILLE — City officials wearing hard hats broke ground on a splash pad at Rotary Park May 27. “It’s a great, great thing for Roseville,” Mayor Pro Tem Catherine Haugh said at the event. “We’ve waited a long time to improve this park, and we’re going to bring something for everybody.” The splash pad is set to be up and running by Memorial Day of 2026. Other improvements slated for the park include a fitness course, pickleball courts, a new walking path with corresponding benches, a gazebo and new playground surfaces. The fitness course, called X-Treme See SPLASH PAD on page 10A
Eastpointe Cruisin’ Gratiot makes for a ‘wheel’ good time EASTPOINTE — Rev your engines, shine that chrome and show off those tail fins, the 26th annual Eastpointe Cruisin’ Gratiot drives into town June 1014. Over the five-day span, classic cars, hot rods, muscle cars, convertibles and more will adorn Gratiot Avenue to celebrate the golden age of the automobile. You may even spot a poodle skirt or two. Eastpointe Cruisin’ Gratiot began in 1999. While the cars are definitely the stars, the event showcases
local businesses and brings families into the community. Through merchandise sales and registration fees, cruising activities also raise money for local charities. The annual event brings back the heyday of cruising Gratiot with your high school buddies who had as much grease in their hair as was under their car hoods. Eastpointe Cruisin’ Gratiot is a throwback to a time in which listening to Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry records, with your arm around your sweetheart, was the ideal Saturday night. Eastpointe Cruisin’ Gratiot includes car shows, cruising and more. Disc jockey Jim Randlett will play See CRUISE on page 10A
