Your generosity. Our parks. Stronger communities.
Celebrating 60 Years. Investing in What’s Next.
For 60 years, Oakland County Parks has brought people together through recreation, outdoor learning and shared experiences in nature. Help the Oakland Parks Foundation build on that legacy by expanding access, enhancing welcoming spaces and preserving the places that make our communities stronger.
Changing the world is possible. We’ve done it before.
Parks change lives when people can use them. A child discovers the outdoors. A neighbor finds connection. A family finds an affordable place to spend time together. Someone takes the first step toward a healthier, more active life.
As Oakland County Parks celebrates 60 years, the Oakland Parks Foundation is looking ahead: helping bring these opportunities to more people, closer to where they live.
Expand access. Help remove barriers of cost, distance and accessibility so more people can enjoy recreation and nature.
Bring parks to life. Support programs and experiences that give people a reason to visit, participate and return—from outdoor learning and family events to everyday opportunities to move and connect.
Change lives. Help turn public spaces into places where people feel welcome, build confidence, form friendships and find a sense of belonging.
Your generosity helps make the next chapter possible—more opportunities, more connections and more people experiencing all that parks can offer.
Come together in our parks to explore nature, build connections and find a place to belong.
