Whether you're looking for a solitary place in nature to take a walk or hike, or are planning a family reunion -- Oakland County Parks have it all.

Highlights of Oakland County Parks include a nature center, five golf courses, wedding and banquet facilities, an action-packed BMX race track and two waterparks.

The County's extensive Oak Routes Trail Network connects urban to rural, through pristine natural areas, rivers and streams. Cross-country ski, ice fish or just take a stroll through a vastly preserved country-side, before you head back to your busy week ahead.

Get away from it all for a day, or just for an hour -- all right in your own backyard.

The Oakland County Sheriff's Office Parks Unit provides law enforcement services to all 13 county parks, including Addison Oaks, Groveland Oaks, Independence Oaks, Red Oaks and Waterford Oaks County Parks. The park officers provide both a visible patrol force and supervise work details of prisoner trustys who help keep our parks among the most clean and beautiful in the state. Deputies provide a number of services including citizen assists, traffic enforcement, and responding to dispatched calls for police services within the parks.
