Introducing the Royal Oak Park Passport

Use the park passport to log your visits to all 51 Royal Oak parks!

Each passport comes with loads of photographs, a map, checklist and 63 stickers to help you track your visits and record your favorite amenities, There's a place to log the date and add notes or favorite stories.

When you visit all our parks we'll give you a magnetic '51' sticker for your car (or your fridge) to show off your accomplishment!

The passports are $5.00 and will be available at the Earth Day rally and fair on April 22 from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm at Centennial Commons in Downtown Royal Oak.

Residential Lock Boxes Available at the Fire Department

The Royal Oak Fire Department’s residential lockbox program is designed to get quick access to adults living in their own homes during medical emergencies -- especially senior citizens. When every second counts, the lockbox -- which contains a key to your home -- reduces the likelihood of property damage caused by first responders forcing entry into your home in response to an emergency call.
