The Royal Oak campus map identifies a South Lot for staff, student, and visitor parking, plus a North Lot marked for disabled-only parking (campustours.com). The campus address is 737 South Washington Avenue, while the college’s campus listing gives 739 S. Washington Ave. (oaklandcc.edu). The college also notes that the parking garage closes at 5:30pm on Fridays, although special College events can keep the garage open later (oaklandcc.edu). These campus options are the practical first choice for students, staff, and visitors attending classes or appointments at OCCROC. ## Other Parking Around the Royal Oak Campus The campus remains the clearly documented parking option close to 737 South Washington Avenue, with free open parking supplied by the college (oaklandcc.edu). Drivers attending commencement should allow at least 30 minutes to park and walk to the O’rena, because parking is first come, first served (oaklandcc.edu). That event guidance is especially relevant when a campus gathering fills the normal student and visitor areas. The Royal Oak campus map labels the South Lot for staff, students, and visitors, while the North Lot is reserved for disabled parking (campustours.com). Show map of Royal Oak ## Parksy Spaces for Longer Stays Near OCCROC The closest priced Parksy option is a secure outdoor lot in Royal Oak, 1.3 mi from the campus, at $99 a month. Its monthly format suits staff or students who need a regular off-campus space rather than a short visit, although the campus itself offers free open parking (oaklandcc.edu). Further options include an affordable outdoor parking space in Southfield, 4.9 mi away, at $69 a month, and secure outdoor car storage in Southfield at the same distance and price. Troy has Larchwood Avenue RV and boat storage 5.2 mi away for $42 a month, plus another secure RV and boat storage space at that distance and price. Affordable outdoor RV parking in Highland Park is 6.3 mi away at $50 a month. The Royal Oak space is the most practical Parksy choice for routine OCCROC travel; the Southfield and Troy listings are better suited to drivers prioritizing storage over a short campus commute. ## Busy Periods and Parking Restrictions at Oakland Community College - Royal Oak Campus Commencement is a particularly demanding period because the college advises allowing at least 30 minutes to park and walk to the O’rena, with parking available on a first-come, first-served basis (oaklandcc.edu). Special College events can also affect garage operating arrangements, since the garage may remain open later for those events (oaklandcc.edu). The campus map separates parking by user and access need: the South Lot serves staff, students, and visitors, while the North Lot is marked disabled-only (campustours.com). ## Walking and Rail Access to the Royal Oak Campus OCCROC is at 737 South Washington Avenue, 0.3 mi from Royal Oak center. For drivers, the campus map places staff, student, and visitor parking in the South Lot and disabled parking in the North Lot (campustours.com). The college’s free open parking policy also covers designated visitor and short-term or temporary spaces (oaklandcc.edu). Those arrangements make the campus lots the documented access point for visitors arriving by car, while the 0.3-mi distance from Royal Oak center provides the available walking context.
