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. Programs, events and day camps are hosted at the nature center, amphitheater and art studio.

On Aug. 11, 2025, the Farmington Hills City Council unanimously approved an Interlocal Agreement that would allow Oakland County Parks (OCP) to operate and invest in the park, while the City of Farmington Hills maintains ownership of the property.
