• Large outdoor cooking grills, sand volleyball and horseshoes pits

At Catalpa Oaks, there is an universally-accessible playground located nearby the Vincent Gregory Pavilion. Any merchandise to be sold, or banners to be hung, must obtain prior approval.

Oakland County residents receive a $25 discount on Monday-Thursday rental rates and a $50 discount on Friday-Sunday and Holidays rental rates.

Due to construction, Catalpa Oaks will not be renting its picnic shelter in 2025. Look for a second picnic pavilion and other park improvements coming in 2026.
