Clinton River Oaks Park will provide 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 235-acre county park, which will run along 2.5 miles of the Clinton River.

The park will expand equitable recreational access, preserve natural resources and promote public health by connecting trails, waterways and public lands in one of Michigan’s most scenic and historic corridors.

An interlocal agreement with the City of Rochester Hills will bring a 108-acre parcel in Bloomer Park’s northern section and the Yates Park area under Oakland County Park and Recreation’s (OCPR) management beginning Feb. 1. In addition, OCP will acquire 128 acres of undeveloped riverfront property adjacent to Bloomer Park and the Clinton River Trail while continuing to explore opportunities with the City of Rochester to expand access and connectivity along the Clinton River corridor. 

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