The park features tennis courts, playscapes, swimming pool, splash pad, as well as the Delores Duffie Recreation Center and the Doris "Dorie" Miller Auditorium. Combined, they comprise a 31,500 square feet facility with a gymnasium.[2] They offer year round classes, workshops, special events, tournaments, performances, and demonstrations.[2] HistoryThe 17 acre property in East Austin was originally the home site of Rudolph Bertram, a local store owner and namesake for the town of Bertram. In 1875, Bertram built the 14-room limestone block house on the property, which now functions as the Recreation Center.[3] The house passed to his daughter Emmie and her husband, Charles Huppertz. Upon their passing, the city of Austin purchased the Bertram-Huppertz house and land in 1928 for the purpose of creating a segregated park for the African American community.[3][4] In 1929, a playground and after-school program was established at the site.[5] Throughout the 1930s, the city added tennis courts, a swimming pool, a bandstand, and baseball fields to the park. The Bertram-Huppertz house was at that time used as the athletic clubhouse and bath house.[3] In 1944, the city started construction on Doris Miller Auditorium, named for Doris "Dorie" Miller, a native Texan and the first African American awarded the Navy Cross.[4] In 1973, the historic Henry Green Madison cabin was re-assembled on the park property, after having been discovered on its original site on East 11th Street, framed within a larger house that was being demolished.[4] In 1974 the cabin was named a State Historical Site by the Texas Historical Commission.[6] References1. ^{{cite gnis |id=1345594 |name=Rosewood Park |accessdate=24 December 2014}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=Austin Parks & Rec: Rosewood Park|url=http://www.austintexas.gov/blog/rosewood-park-month|website=City of Austin|accessdate=4 September 2014}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=Main Building: Bertram-Huppertz|url=http://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth124745/|website=Portal to Texas History|accessdate=4 September 2014}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=Cabin in the park|url=http://www.austin360.com/news/lifestyles/recreation/untold-stories-a-cabin-in-the-park-2/nRzdf/|website=Austin 360|accessdate=4 September 2014}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|title=Rosewood Rec Site|url=http://www.austintexas.gov/department/rosewood-recreation-center|website=City of Austin|accessdate=4 September 2014}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Henry G.
