Welcome to our web site

This blog is dedicated to preserving city parks and green space in Royal Oak, Michigan. With the city experiencing financial issues, elected officials are looking at selling parks to developers in order to balance the budget. We're opposed to selling green space to solve short-term budget crunches.

The current park on the chopping block is Normandy Oaks. And while not every Royal Oak resident may golf there, the trees and greenspace are a more welcomed site than the proposed housing projects, concrete, and added vehicular traffic.
