Garden Homes Park

Park Overview

Set in the northwest corner of Ann Arbor, Garden Homes Park spans a generous 11 acres just east of North Maple Road and south of M-14. This local park is a peaceful escape for nearby residents, blending open grassy areas with patches of woods and connecting everything through a network of paved trails.

Whether you're looking for a quick morning walk or a place for the kids to burn off energy, this accessible park has something for everyone.

Play Areas

Kids light up when they see the park's main play structure, which is thoughtfully designed to be accessible for children of all abilities. The little ones especially love the mini-structure with its dinosaur theme - fantastic for preschoolers with big imaginations!

You'll come across picnic tables and benches scattered across the grounds, making it easy to enjoy lunch outdoors or just sit and watch the children play while taking in some fresh air.

Trails and Accessibility

The park features over 20,000 feet of paved pathways that wind through the property. These smooth trails are ideal for a casual walk, a morning jog, or simply wandering while chatting with a friend.

The well-maintained paths ensure that the park remains accessible for everyone, including those with strollers or wheelchairs, so no one has to miss out on the outdoor experience.

Natural Setting

We particularly appreciate Garden Homes' open, natural environment. The thoughtful balance of green spaces and maintained areas creates plenty of room for throwing a frisbee, kicking a soccer ball, or just spreading out a blanket for an impromptu picnic.

Tucked within a residential area, this serene spot provides a convenient place to enjoy nature without venturing far from home. You can take a deep breath and relax here, even if you only have an hour to spare.
