Rosewood Park, Urban park in Austin, Texas

Rosewood Park is a 17-acre public park in East Austin. It holds tennis courts, a swimming pool, a splash pad, baseball fields and playscapes, plus the Delores Duffie Recreation Center and the Doris "Dorie" Miller Auditorium, which together form a 31,500-square-foot facility with a gymnasium. The recreation center occupies the 14-room limestone block house that Rudolph Bertram built on the site in 1875.

Austin bought the 17-acre Bertram-Huppertz property in 1928 to open a segregated park for the African-American community; a playground and after-school program followed in 1929. During the 1930s the city added tennis courts, a swimming pool, a bandstand and baseball fields, and used the 1875 limestone house as an athletic clubhouse and bath house. The Doris Miller Auditorium was begun in 1944.

The Delores Duffie Recreation Center and the Doris "Dorie" Miller Auditorium host year-round classes, workshops, tournaments and performances. The auditorium is named for Doris Miller, a native Texan and the first African American awarded the Navy Cross. The 14-room limestone Bertram-Huppertz house, built in 1875, now serves as the recreation center.

The 17-acre park sits in East Austin, about 2.8 km east of downtown. The Delores Duffie Recreation Center and the Doris "Dorie" Miller Auditorium together form a 31,500-square-foot facility with a gymnasium, and the grounds hold tennis courts, a pool, a splash pad and playscapes. Look for the Henry Green Madison cabin on the property.

The Henry Green Madison cabin, built by an early Black Austin city alderman, was found in 1973 framed inside a larger house on East 11th Street during demolition and reassembled in the park; the Texas Historical Commission named it a State Historical Site in 1974.
