Tuebingen Park

Green Space & Location

Tucked away on Ann Arbor's northeast side at 2505 Tuebingen Parkway, you'll come across a compact but mighty seven-acre outdoor haven. Tuebingen Park isn't your typical swing-set-and-slide spot - it focuses more on fitness activities, managed by Ann Arbor Parks and Recreation.

Biking Paradise

The park features a mix of natural landscapes and various activity areas. Cyclists, take note: the park includes a dedicated bike park. Regardless of whether you're just finding your wheels or you're practically pro, there's something for you - from the dirt pump track to downhill jump lines that range from beginner-friendly to hold-onto-your-helmet challenging.

Thrillseekers will appreciate the technical features like tabletops, shark fins, rollers, and berms. These dirt jumps are a less-known feature among Ann Arbor's green spaces.

If you're into exploration, hop on the single-track mountain biking trail that connects to Stapp Nature Area nearby. It's no wonder cycling enthusiasts from all over southeast Michigan make the journey here.

Amenities & Equipment

Fair warning: Tuebingen keeps it simple. You won't find restrooms, parking lots, or picnic tables here. But there are benches for catching your breath and some shady spots for when the Michigan sun gets serious. The fitness equipment scattered throughout is ideal for older kids, teenagers, and adults looking to challenge themselves with climbing features and balance beams.

Getting There & Background

Reaching the park is straightforward via sidewalks along Tuebingen and Huron Parkways, or through trails connecting to neighboring green spaces. If you're car-free, there's a convenient bus stop nearby.

Named after Ann Arbor's sister city in Germany, Tübingen, this park offers something refreshingly different. It's the place to go when you're in the mood for outdoor exercise and biking adventures surrounded by nature, rather than traditional playground time.
