Clinton River Oaks Park provides new opportunities for recreation, conservation and community connection in the Rochester and Rochester Hills communities. Oakland County Parks (OCP) announced plans last fall for the new 286-acre county park, which runs along approximately 2.8 miles of the Clinton River.

The park expands equitable recreational access, preserves natural resources and promotes public health by connecting trails, waterways and public lands in one of Michigan’s most scenic and historic corridors.

Clinton River Oaks includes 286 acres of existing and future parkland made up of several properties, including a 128.7-acre parcel in Rochester that OCP is purchasing from a private landowner, a 108.7-acre portion of Rochester Hills' Bloomer Park and 48.7 acres owned by Rochester. OCP will manage the city-owned parcels through interlocal agreements.

The project represents an $8 million county investment, part of a broader $12 million regional partnership to restore the Clinton River corridor.
