Visitors traveling to Red Oaks Golf Course, Waterpark, Nature Center and Youth Soccer Complex may experience construction delays this summer. The repaving of John R from 11 Mile to Dartmouth, north of 12 Mile, begins at the end of April 2013 and should be completed by early August 2013 (weather permitting). Side streets will be closed alternately at John R for periods of construction, but alternative access to neighborhoods will be maintained. PHASE I will include the northbound lanes. PHASE II will include the southbound lanes.

Red Oaks and Waterford Oaks waterparks were named to "2012 Top 10 Waterparks in Southeast Michigan" by Metro Parent Magazine.
Waterpark lifeguards have also earned the 2012 Golf International Aquatic Safety Award. This prestigious honor recognizes only the top 30% of lifeguards for exceeding the Ellis & Associates criteria for aquatic safety.
Kids enjoy the Soak Station, children's water playground with 68 features, including water jets, curtains and slides, plus bubbler jets and a six-foot tipping bucket; must be 56" or shorter and be accompanied by an adult. Or the Spray & Play, a water play area for toddlers, with 15 water jets and bubblers at zero depth.
Grab a tube and float on the River Ride, a 990-foot long moving river. Other water park features include:
- Triple Turn, a triple-flume waterslide
