Nice park with a cluster of trees good for hammocking, a playground, and BBQ spots along the river. There is ambient noise from the surrounding hospital buildings, but good vibes and river access. Revised my rating because I went there on fourth of July and the locals out on one hell of a show. Thank gods there was a river nearby.
Don’t go for the kid’s playground but for the view. It’s a great spot for stone skipping or simply walking around. Recently paved, the pathway can be flooded pretty easily. Several picnic tables and grills, brand new. Accessible very close by car. Open spaces are suitable for playing outdoor games. If you go after a big rain most of the grass will be muddy. Sometimes I’ve found ticks so you just need to be careful.
Always enjoy it here.
My first time watching a music performance at this park.
It was a great set up!
It has restrooms. A pavilion for a dry picnic. Playset for the little people too!
Great park along the Huron River! My son Andrew and I love exploring all of the City of Ann Arbor parks!! 🙂
I find myself at this park several times a year! I drive patients to UofM for procedures and this is the perfect spot to wait! The walking trails are perfect and watching the river and wildlife never disappoints!
