About

Catalpa Oaks preserves 24 acres of green space in Southfield adjacent to the South Oakland Health Department. The park is home of the Annual Great Marshmallow Drop, a spring event drawing 5,000+ participants to watch 15,000 marshmallows drop from a helicopter. Catalpa Oaks features one youth and four large soccer fields and playgrounds, including a universally-accessible playscape and swings for all abilities. A .8-mile aggregate perimeter pathway around the park provides a walking and running loop. The Vincent Gregory Pavilion offers picnic table seating for 100 people. Modern restrooms are on site and open daily April through October.
