About the Location
Unique Features
Mushroom Park is a 1.54-acre neighborhood park located in the Dicken neighborhood of Ann Arbor, Michigan, nestled between Waltham Drive and Saxon Street off Scio Church Road. The park is characterized by gently rolling hills and unique, whimsical concrete mushrooms that serve as climbing features.
These distinctive mushrooms not only give the park its name but also add a charming character to the space. Although the mushrooms lack a specific play function and may not be the safest climbing structures, they remain a beloved feature of the park.
Playground Area
This small park includes a compact play structure with two slides and climbing options, designed primarily for younger children. There are also traditional playground elements like monkey bars.
Notable features include a creative setup with a small theater window and seating fashioned like mushrooms, which adds an imaginative play element for kids. The ground is surfaced with wooden mulch, offering partial shade from nearby trees.
Amenities and Access
Seating areas, including benches, picnic tables, and mushroom stools, provide spaces for relaxation throughout the park.
Mushroom Park is a quiet neighborhood destination without extensive amenities, making it suitable for families with young children and those looking for a peaceful outdoor spot. However, it lacks facilities like bathrooms, sports fields, or walking trails.
Parking is limited to street parking on Waltham Drive and Saxon Street.
