There are two public markets held there on weekends - the Saturday Fresh Market for fresh food and vegetables and the Sunday Discovery Market for secondhand bargains.

Rocklea is a mainly industrial suburb with some residential areas and its own school, the Rocklea State School which opened in 1885.
