About New Rochester Park

New Rochester Park overlooks the Maumee River on the site of the early village of New Rochester and serves as a peaceful green space maintained by the Paulding County Park Board. Long enjoyed by locals for picnics, birdwatching, and taking in the sights and sounds of the river valley, it remains a favorite gathering place for reflection, recreation, and connection to nature. Its care and preservation are part of the broader mission of the volunteer-led Paulding County Park Board, supported through public funding and community involvement, to protect and enhance Paulding County's natural and historic spaces by maintaining parks and planning new trails and greenspaces that encourage outdoor recreation and strengthen community ties to the land. This work is supported by the Friends of the Paulding Park District, a volunteer-led, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that helps through fundraising, event planning, clean-up days, and community outreach. The addition of a natural playground provides families with a place to gather, explore, and spark imaginative play while staying true to the natural landscape.
