Lawton Park

A Hidden Neighborhood Treasure

Located on Mershon Drive between Delaware Drive and Scio Church Road, Lawton Park is a 5.28-acre piece of tranquility in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Sitting right beside Lawton Elementary School, this peaceful green space offers a great escape from the daily grind without having to venture far from home.

With its welcoming open fields and gentle walking paths, it's the kind of place where you can stretch your legs, breathe deep, and reconnect with nature in the heart of the neighborhood.

Playground Paradise

If you've got kids in tow, the playground is where you'll likely spend most of your time. Recently updated, it features some pretty cool equipment that will have children of all ages entertained. The arch swings offer a modern twist on a playground classic, while the climbing net presents just enough of a challenge to keep adventurous little ones engaged.

We particularly love the thoughtful addition of sensory play features, making this a more inclusive space for children of varying abilities. And let's not forget the baseball field - meant for impromptu games or organized little league practices when the weather's nice.

School & Park: Better Together

What makes Lawton Park special is its seamless connection with Lawton Elementary School. This space represents a thoughtful collaboration between the City of Ann Arbor and the Ann Arbor School System, creating an environment that serves both educational and recreational needs.

While it might not be the largest or most elaborate park in Ann Arbor's collection of green spaces, Lawton Park is a nice spot in the neighborhood. It's a pleasant place for families on weekend outings, students taking a break after school, or neighbors enjoying some fresh air.
