Rock Gardens
Help our Rock Gardens grow!
Spread kindness by painting rocks with artwork and positive messages for all ages.
Visit the rock gardens to take a painted rock for inspiration, share a rock with another person for motivation, or create a new painted rock for preservation. Each garden will have a small supply of unpainted rocks that the community is welcome to take to paint and then return for all others to enjoy.
Rock Garden Locations:
Century Park – Near the boat dock off Lakeview Parkway on the east side of the picnic shelter.
Deerpath Park – Surrounding the Kids’ Castle sign near the south end near the tennis/pickleball courts.
Hartmann Park – Next to the Free Library Book House at the south end along Cherry Valley Road.
Rock Painting Guidelines:
- Wash dirt off your rock and let it dry before beginning to paint.
- Acrylic paint is best – It does not wash off clothing so be sure to wear old clothes! Water-based paint can also be used.
- Protecting your finished rock with a clear coat spray is recommended.
