Heritage Oaks
Heritage Park, located on the west side of Farmington Road between Ten and Eleven Mile roads, is a beautiful 211-acre park that attracts an estimated 250,000 visitors annually. For many years, the park has been well-loved by the Farmington Hills community, which enjoys its many amenities including a splash pad, picnic shelter, playground, volleyball courts, archery range, the historic Spicer House and more.
