The Parks Division offers four seasons of fun and many diverse activities at its 14 park locations throughout the City of Rochester Hills. Click here to see the location map of all city parks.
 
Our passive and active park sites encompass 900+ acres and attract over 900,000 visitors a year.  Recreation is provided through the Rochester Avon Recreation Authority (RARA).

We offer the only velodrome in the state of Michigan.  This 1/8th mile track is the fastest in the country.
