About the Location
Playgrounds for All Ages
Kilburn Park features a playground with two structures designed for different age groups. A smaller structure accommodates younger children with a simple two-step access and a slide wide enough for two children to use simultaneously. This structure also includes engaging elements like a steering wheel and spinners.
The larger playground structure caters to slightly older children, offering multiple slides, including a twisty slide and racer slides, along with monkey bars and climbing ladders. The play areas are surfaced with a mix of materials, including mulch, though some portions are not wheelchair-accessible.
Park Amenities and Layout
This modest-sized neighborhood park spans two acres and is situated on the northeast side of Ann Arbor, at the corner of Dunwoodie Road and Kilburn Park Circle. It is managed by the City of Ann Arbor's Parks and Recreation system.
Kilburn Park offers basic amenities like a picnic table and bench for seating, providing community members a place to relax while supervising children at play. The park is integrated with neighborhood sidewalks via a paved walking path, though it lacks dedicated nature trails or water features.
Recreation Opportunities
While primarily geared toward recreational activities for children, Kilburn Park also has open fields suitable for informal sports or casual outdoor play. However, it does not include bathrooms, a pavilion, or specialized sports fields.
Shade is minimal, so visitors should plan accordingly for hot, sunny days. The park's cozy and family-friendly atmosphere makes it an ideal destination for families with younger children and nearby residents.
