Many Catalpa trees in the park are a good place to look for Cuckoos.

Dr. J.B. Rolater - a former student of Hearn Academy and resident of Cave Spring - gave and granted 29 acres of land, with its natural cave and clear springs, for a public park to benefit the residents of the City of Cave Spring in 1931. This land is now known as Rolater Park.  Visible in the park is the town’s namesake cave and spring that produces 2 million gallons a day of mineral water. People from miles around come to fill jugs and take home the award-winning water. The cave’s spring overflows into a serene reflection pond and shallow stream that the. flows on to fill the park’s 1.5 acre swimming lake, second-largest in the state.

Public bathrooms are provided in the park but are only open during the season. If the cave is open, the bathrooms are open. Public bathrooms, open 24/7 are located directly behind the Cave Spring Library.
