Longshore Park

River Views and Recreation

Located in Ann Arbor, Longshore Park may be small at just 2.25 acres, but it packs in plenty of charm. Sitting right across from the Argo Canoe Livery and Argo Park & Nature Area, this little green haven offers views of the Huron River flowing by - a nice spot to catch your breath and enjoy Michigan's natural beauty.

Kid-Friendly Fun

Perched atop a small hill is a playground that's a hit with the 5-12 crowd. No worries about accessibility either - there's a smooth asphalt path connecting it to Longshore Drive, making it easy for everyone to reach, regardless of mobility needs.

A Touch of Nature

Beyond the playground, you'll find open grassy areas ideal for tossing a frisbee or simply sprawling out with a good book. The park gets its cozy feel from clusters of trees, including majestic sugar maples and black cherries that provide welcome shade during summer months and a splash of color come fall.

Picnic Perfect

Feeling hungry after all that play? The park offers several picnic tables near the playground where you can enjoy a packed lunch or casual dinner. You'll find spots in both sun and shade, so you can choose what suits your mood that day.
