Roseville's Central Park stretches out over many acres and several busy streets. There's a great playground and trail around one lake off Lexington. And if you go farther east over to Dale you'll find an arboretum on one side of the road and a nature center on the other. Take a day and check the place out.
The Harriet Alexander Nature Center is a 52-acre nature preserve. Floating boardwalks wind through a marsh, packed full of local birds. Many of the boardwalks are closed right now as they are being redone, but it's still a nice walk.
And there's tons to learn inside. The kiddos were fascinated by the bees, and watched them for some time.

Central Park Dale West (on the west side of Lexington)
features the Muriel Sahlin Arboretum. The grounds include 8 acres of landscaped
themed gardens, stone walkways and paved plazas, as well as tree and
shrub collections. There is a gorgeous fountain at the center.
Within the Arboretum is the Shirlie Klaus Pavilion. It was a great place to picnic.
In the parking lot of the nature center, the first building you see is a Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. Sadly, they don't give tours. You have to head back in the woods to find the nature center.
