Parks & Trails News 

Celebrating 43 years, the 13 Oakland County Parks offer nearly 60 miles of trails and natural landscapes for year-round recreation, including five golf courses, two waterparks, and two nature centers. Unique recreation opportunities include Mobile Recreation and dog parks.

Oakland County Parks is committed to providing safe, clean, accessible facilities and services to the community. Charged with the management and stewardship of more than 6,400 acres of public land, including some significant and rare natural areas, our goal is to protect and sustain these areas for future generations. The incorporation of energy-efficient practices in all facets of parks operations and management is vital to the future of the parks system.
