Starr Jaycee Park is a nice bit of greenery to visit when you want to take a break from the city. Tip: There's a play structure here for kids that looks to be a fun time whenever they want to climb something Over and above the play area for kids, there's a baseball/softball diamond and a large general purpose field here. There's also a football field. When you visit here, you'll find picnic tables and plenty of free parking. read more

We went to an outdoor Shakespeare play at this park. It was amazing! Beautiful large park, lots of parking, beautiful, tall trees.

This is a good sized park here in RO. Lots of spaces for kids to play at the playground. A really nice tree lined area to walk around aimlessly and to get lost in your thoughts. A shelter and seating for a small picnic. Chess table for such aficionados, frisbee launch areas and open field areas for v-ballers too, two sets of poles are available, though you need to bring your own net and balls, of course. I enjoy getting some carry out at whichever spot in the RO or vicinity and taking it back to the park to have an impromptu picnic. This is the same park that usually hosts the Shakespeare in the park every year, except this year. It's most tranquil by the dense trees since there are less clusters of people in those parts. :) Come and get a much needed respite from the house and enjoy a bit of nature with a picnic at this park and a bit away from the playground area, if you want some quiet and peace. Maybe bring a blanket to lay on the ground and carve out your own ideal spot. read more

Starr Jaycee Park - Parks Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

Pretty nice park! There's plenty of trees and shade for those hot Michigan summers. Big plus for having functional bathrooms. Not sure how it's enforced but you can also rent the pavilion for any gatherings on Royal Oak's Recreation website. read more

This park is really nice. They have a mini train that begins running in Amya, baseball fields, disc gold, and a lot of nice play sets. They do events there such as Shakespeare in The Park. They do a 5K in May. They also have pavilions you can rent. An organization I volunteer with helps to clean this park in the spring and fall. We have a great time together and enjoy seeing the families in the park and knowing that what we do is helping to keep it clean and safe. We pick up a lot of empty alcohol containers and trash. There is a beautiful wooded area where you can relax in the shade. It's off of 13 Mile so there is some traffic, but it's not full of noise pollution. It's just a really nice city park that people should take advantage of using! read more

Starr Jaycee Park - Parks Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

SJ Park is a 28 acre park hidden down 13 mile in a suburb. Just because it's off the beaten path doesn't mean that it's not worth checking out. Granted, part of the 28 acres includes ball fields/backstops,, a football field, a volleyball court, and what the city calls "multi-purpose fields," which are just large areas of open grass, it's still a great park. About half of the park is covered in trees. I used to spend afternoons here on a blanket reading. It's great for that. They have a good sized play area for kids, with a large jungle gym and bathrooms. They also have a good disc golf course here that isn't used as heavily as the one at Wagner. In the middle of the park amidst the trees, there are miniature train tracks. Check the website, but sometimes in the summer they have a mini-train running on them for the kids, and I believe the rides are free! Honestly all those factors make this a great afternoon spot. Soon as it heats up again, I'll be back here reading through whatever book I'm on or playing backgammon with my lady. I want to fall asleep here again! read more

Nice park I am not sure what else to say we just went to walk our puppies and it was very cool

This is a very nice spot to relax in Downtown Royal Oak. Since Royal Oak is getting more and more busy as the years go by, day or night, this is a nice place to sit down and relax. This especially is true during the warm months of the year. read more

Great playgrounds! Six slides, big kid and baby swings, old fashioned horses on springs, and lots of climbing opportunities, all under some lovely, tall trees. My busy-body 4 and 5 year-olds had a great time wearing themselves out. read more
