Normandy Oaks Park is nature sanctuary inside the urban Royal Oak…read more Inside the park, there is wide paved path loop (around 1 mile) great for walking, running, biking, and skating. Along the path were plenty of wildflowers, which made for the perfect nature walk. However, I prefer to walk in the evenings since there aren't many shaded areas along the path. Lots of green infrastructure is embedded into this park like bioswales, an underground drainage system, and a retention pond to help manage stormwater. These naturally attract lots of wildlife. During my walks, I've seen turtles, frogs, ducks, and deer. To top it all off, Normandy Oaks Park has plenty of areas for play like a fenced in splash pad, soccer fields, and climbing play structure. The splash pad is open from 9 am - 9 pm Memorial Day to Labor Day. A bonus for parents: There are plenty of picnic tables and pavilion with a drinking fountain and restrooms near by. I can't wait to come back soon!

Disappointed in Normandy Oaks. I thought we were getting a 40 acre park but we got 20 acres of park…read moreand 20 acres of vacant field. The turf around the picnic shelter & splash pad is OK, the soccer fields started out good but are now disaster due to lack of maintenance. The rest of the mowed grass areas are very poor. The rest of the park they basically just stopped mowing the golf course. I was expecting a large elaborate playlot but didn't get one. One of the smallest playlots in the city. At the bottom of the sled hill is a tree which in good sledding conditions would be close enough for kids to hit. It should be removed.

The biggest slide would probably excite any tween - very tall and steep. Slides are the plastic material so they don't get that hot, but they generate plenty of static. Hair of two year old was standing up! Mostly sand around base of playground although there is some "soft" permanent sidewalk. At least two "infant" swings plus regular swings. Plenty of parking for playground. However, there are soccer fields there so not sure about when soccer is being played.

If you are coming there for the playground and have kids older than age nine, it will only get boring for them.If kids seven, eight, and nine try really hard to enjoy it, they might have fun.They could play tag in the open space.Any kid older than that will not have fun. But for adults and kids it has a baseball Diamond.And I've heard from other people It has walking trails.But I know another great park you can go to if you like Beach Road Park. The park is named Raintree Park. It has the exact same play structure that's in Beach Road Park and another play structure that's safer for young toddlers and babies. It has sand volleyball,disc golf,swings,and a short trail that goes around the park. It also has space for drones if you like flying around trees Well, that's my review. Goodbye!

There's also an open field area for the kids.

They don't have much for competition in the area, so there's zero incentive for them to make improvements. It's good enough for my toddler, but I always cringe about coming here. It is what it is. Our last visit there was an open tampon, bag of chips under the area where the kids climb. I told the employees but they were checked out on their phones. Don't blame them. The owners need to set a better example by getting their place in order. *edited to show that the employee cleaned up the tampon and dirty area. This place needs a PROFESSIONAL DEEP CLEANING. Ownership needs to open their wallet and take care of their facilities. This is not a cleaning job that employees who are there to manage operations can do, nor should they be expected to.

Located right off 22 Mile, just East of Van Dyke freeway. You can park and walk over the catwalk, like I did with my kids. They waved at the traffic down below and even got passerby's to honk! Even a few big truckers! I remember doing that when I was a kid!
