Oakland County Parks will dedicate its newest park, Highland Oaks, with a small ceremony at 11 a.m. Friday that will include county dignitaries and planting of several native plants. The 264-acre park on Milford Road at White Lake Road was purchased earlier this year for $3.3 million with funds from the state and parks system.
