Royal Oak Playgrounds Reopen

As Royal Oak begins the process of reopening playgrounds, it recommends taking these safety measures.

As we begin the process to re-open our City’s playground equipment after Oakland County’s Health Division rescinded Emergency Health Order 2020-8, we encourage those to practice safe measures provided by our state and local authorities.

We encourage all to follow these actions when visiting one of our parks:

  • Stay at least six feet from others at all times. This can make some open areas, trails, and paths safer to use. Do not enter a crowded area.
  • Minimize gathering with others outside of your household.
  • Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom, before eating, and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
  • Keep hand sanitizer with you (at least 60% alcohol) for times when soap and water are not available.”
