County Farm Park, Public park in east Ann Arbor, United States.
Description
County Farm Park is a large recreational area in east Ann Arbor with walking trails, sports fields, and natural spaces for outdoor activities. Facilities include children's play areas, picnic pavilions, exercise stations, and multiple parking areas throughout the grounds.
History
The park was established in 1972 when former farmland was converted into a public recreational area managed by Washtenaw County Parks Commission. This transformation turned agricultural property into a modern community resource for the expanding city.
Culture
The park serves as a gathering place where neighbors come together for seasonal events and community celebrations throughout the year. These occasions help build connections between local residents and their surroundings.
Practical
The park is easily accessible from Platt Road with multiple parking areas for different sections and activities. Since the grounds spread widely, planning your route beforehand helps you make the most of your visit.
