Recreation
We are committed to providing high-quality, affordable programs for all ages and abilities, as well as recreational-level sports where everyone plays.
Our mission is to improve the quality of life in Auburn Hills by providing quality parks and recreation opportunities with a variety of year-round programs, special events and facilities for people of all ages and abilities.
We hope you’ve been enjoying some of the City’s parks and recreational opportunities offered throughout the year. The Auburn Hills park system has been carefully planned and developed over the years, and the facilities, along with community special events and recreational programs, have become a source of pride for residents.
Recreational opportunities are available close to home in one of the four major city parks and in a variety of our programs and special events for youth, adults and families. If you are new to the area, stop by the Community Center for a tour of the facility and its features. Great things are waiting for you to discover at your Community Center.
