Evergreen Park

A Peaceful Neighborhood Retreat

Tucked away off Valley Drive and Kingwood Street, Evergreen Park is a cozy 3.5-acre green space that is a little oasis for the surrounding neighborhood. You'll come across it just west of where North Maple meets Dexter Road - a humble but charming spot where locals come to unwind.

The park offers a quiet atmosphere excellent for a peaceful afternoon outdoors, although it's worth noting that you can hear the highway in the background - just one of those reminders that you're still in the city despite the greenery around you.

Kid-Friendly Play Area

Little ones will enjoy the modest but fun playground structure complete with a rock wall for climbing adventures, a slide for whooshing down, and swings for that classic park experience. Nothing fancy, but definitely enough to keep younger children entertained while you take a breather on a nearby bench.

There's something refreshingly simple about this park's design - it doesn't try to be more than what it is: a welcoming space where neighbors can gather, kids can play, and everyone can enjoy a bit of nature.

Getting There

Heading over? Keep in mind that parking is extremely limited at Evergreen Park. It's really designed with the surrounding neighborhood in mind, so walking or biking is your best bet if you're able.

The pedestrian-friendly layout makes perfect sense once you realize this park was created primarily as a community space for those living nearby.

A Small Park with Big Value

While Evergreen Park doesn't have the extensive amenities or sprawling grounds of Ann Arbor's larger parks, it's still a valuable space for the local community.

What it lacks in size, it offers in convenience and accessibility. Sometimes a calm spot of nature close to home is all you need.
