Fortuna's Rohner Park has a long history of memory-making for local folks and visitors alike. Nestled in a sunny spot, bounded by natural creeks and even home to a grove of old-growth redwoods, it's perfect for short hikes, picnics and hours of play. So treat yourself and your family to a day in the park. It features a playground, tot lot, horseshoe pits, basketball court and immaculate baseball fields — even free Wi-Fi. There are many beautiful trails on the hillside where you can get lost in the ferns and see some of the oldest redwoods in the area, all within blocks of a small town main street.

The park is a favorite celebration spot and offers an updated cook shack, deep pit barbecue pits and a large picnic area with an outdoor fireplace. Birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, community breakfasts and hundreds of family reunions have taken place at the long tables in this wonderful outdoor party room.

Rohner Park's famous rodeo grounds have been the training grounds for most of the area's cowgirls and cowboys, and each summer hosts the Fortuna Rodeo. Fortuna's beloved Depot Museum, which holds many of the city's historical records, artifacts and treasures, is located at the park's entrance. The Firemen's Pavilion has hosted weekend roller-skating for several generations and is also a favorite dance and party venue.
