Prairie Park

Recreational Features

Tucked away in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Prairie Park is a charming neighborhood spot within Pittsfield Charter Township. It's one of those thoughtfully designed spaces that welcomes everyone, regardless of age or ability.

You can find it conveniently located near the township offices, making it an easy escape when you need some fresh air. From time to time, the park transforms as it hosts a farmers market, bringing the community together in a delightful way.

Trails and Playground

One of the nicest things about Prairie Park is its network of walking and hiking trails - excellent for a leisurely stroll or getting your steps in while surrounded by nature. But let's be honest, the real star of the show might be the playground area. Kids absolutely love the slides, swings, and especially the zip line that never fails to draw excited squeals.

Little ones can crawl through interlocking tunnels, creating their own adventures in a safe environment. The various rides throughout the playground area keep children entertained for hours. And if you're the one doing the supervising? You'll appreciate the comfortable benches scattered around, giving you a great vantage point to watch the fun unfold.

Picnic and Gathering Areas

When hunger strikes, head to one of the well-maintained picnic areas with plenty of seating options. These spaces work beautifully for family lunches or small get-togethers with friends.

We particularly like how they've placed seating throughout the grounds, creating quiet spots where you can sit back and take in the natural beauty of this Washtenaw County gem.

Accessibility and Environmental Design

What really sets Prairie Park apart is its commitment to accessibility. The universal design principles mean everyone can enjoy what the park has to offer, with thoughtful features like paved parking and ramp access.

There's also a beautiful rain garden planted with native species that does double duty - it helps with water filtration while adding to the park's natural charm.

The blend of recreational options and eco-friendly elements at Prairie Park means you'll find plenty to do whether you want to play, relax, or simply enjoy some time outdoors.
