Oakland Township Parks & Recreation is a local elected park agency dedicated to preserving natural beauty and providing recreational opportunities for residents. Since 1975, they have acquired and maintained over 1,500 acres of parklands and trails, offering activities such as walking, hiking, biking, and horseback riding. Their mission is to provide a sustainable system of parks, trails, programs, amenities, and services that create memorable experiences, contribute to the township's economic value, and preserve the historical and natural heritage for current and future generations. They offer a diverse range of programs including nature, fitness, arts, athletics, and summer camps, as well as special events and seasonal activities like sledding and ice skating. The commission is responsible for park acquisition, planning, and management, and may utilize funds or bonds for land acquisition and facility construction.
