About Oak Park

Oak Park is an inner-ring Detroit suburb in southern Oakland County. The area was first settled by European Americans in the 1840s, but much of its modern growth came as Metro Detroit expanded after World War II. Oak Park has a dense residential pattern, a long educational history that began with the one-room Clinton School, and strong ties to nearby Ferndale, Southfield, and Detroit. The city feels established and diverse, with older subdivisions, local businesses, and quick access across the inner metro.
