About Heritage Park

Heritage Park sits in downtown Rome behind the levee along Second Avenue. Its eight acres lie where the Etowah and Oostanaula rivers join, making it a calm spot for relaxing outdoors. Visitors can use a gazebo, picnic shelters, a playground, and paved trails, or try fishing and river access. Amenities also include a boat launch, a grill, and restrooms. The park is open from dawn until dusk, and rental questions can be directed to the phone line listed on the site.
