Lansdowne Park

A Local Green Getaway

Positioned in the Lansdowne Subdivision in Ann Arbor's southwest corner, Lansdowne Park is one of those hidden neighborhood retreats that doesn't try too hard to impress - yet somehow does just that. Spanning a modest 2.6 acres near Seventh Street, this compact green space is the neighborhood's outdoor living room.

It's not sprawling or fancy, but there's something genuinely charming about the way this little park balances function with simple pleasures.

Kid-Approved Fun Spot

If you've got little ones in tow, you'll appreciate the playground that's perfectly sized for younger children. The swings might just be where you'll spend most of your time (isn't that always the case with kids?), and the sandbox offers that timeless entertainment that somehow never goes out of style despite our digital age.

For the more active crowd, there's a basketball court where local pickup games occasionally unfold, and a soccer field that's just right for casual kickarounds or impromptu matches. When hunger strikes, the picnic tables scattered throughout make for perfect lunch spots without having to pack up and head home.

Neighborhood Living

What makes Lansdowne Park special isn't flashy features or unique attractions - it's how seamlessly it fits into the quiet rhythm of the surrounding neighborhood. It's the kind of place where you might run into neighbors while walking the dog or watch your kids make new friends on a sunny afternoon.

Regardless of whether you're looking to burn off some energy or simply enjoy a moment of peace under a tree, this little green space offers a pleasant escape without fanfare. Just note that there aren't any public restrooms available, so plan accordingly for your visit to this unassuming but valuable Ann Arbor green space.
