Manchester Park

A Little Slice of Green Between Roads

Tucked away between Washtenaw Avenue and Manchester Road, this cozy 1.5-acre green space functions as a peaceful retreat from Ann Arbor's busier areas. We love how Manchester Park sits right next to the Washtenaw County Farm Park, creating this perfect little corridor of nature connecting the busy Washtenaw Avenue to the quieter residential streets nearby.

Getting here is a breeze if you're on foot or biking, with sidewalks leading right up to the park. No car? No problem! You've got two bus stops within easy walking distance - one on Washtenaw Avenue and another right on Manchester Road.

Small Park, Simple Pleasures

What Manchester Park lacks in size, it makes up for in tranquility. The playground offers a spot for kids to burn off energy, while the picnic areas are meant for a casual lunch or afternoon snack. The walking paths aren't extensive, but they provide a nice option for a short, leisurely stroll when you just need to stretch your legs.

If you're driving, you'll come across some limited street parking at the Manchester Road turnoff. Just note that if you're arriving by bike, you'll need to improvise as there aren't dedicated bike racks in the park.

Neighborhood Haven

Manchester Park is a nice example of the small neighborhood green spaces found throughout Ann Arbor. It might not be the biggest or most feature-packed park in town, but it offers something equally valuable - a moment of serenity in the middle of urban life.
