VFW Park in Royal Oak – Playground, Gaga Ball and Sports

VFW Park is located on the west side of Campbell Road, just north of Lincoln (10 1/2 Mile) in Royal Oak.  This almost 8 acre park has one large play structure with many slides, a bridge as well as other fun features.

Playground in Royal Oak

This park also has infant/toddler swings along with regular sized swings available.  Pavilions with plenty of picnic tables makes this a great park for a picnic.  Restrooms and drinking fountains are available in the community center which is right across the street.  

Overall this park was rather clean.  It was very soggy due to the recent rains, but the play areas were all pretty dry.  Two benches are situated near the playground so parents can relax while watching their children play.  

One big drawback to this park is it’s proximity to Campbell.  There is no barrier between the park and busy road, although the structure is a good distance away.  If your child is prone to bolting away, you will need to be very vigilant if you visit this park.
