Thelma G. Spencer Park - Rochester Hills

August 05, 2012

altSpencer Park (or Thelma G. Spencer Park) is situated on 113 acres of land off of John R. Road between Auburn and South Blvd in Rochester Hills. My family has quite a personal history with Spencer Park. My husband was an avid visitor to the park even before we met and he even worked there for 2 summers as a college student. The park is very close to our home but we would make special efforts to go there even if we didn't live very close to it.
