County Farm Park: Nature's Playground

Playing in the dirt, on the playground or wandering the bike paths and trails,
there is a lot to do at County Farm Park in Ann Arbor!
Last week my son and I attended a free activity program with Washtenaw County Parks and Recreation called "Dig Dirt" at County Farm Park. I hadn't been to the park since the county renovated it a year or so ago, and was amazed at how well it is now set up. The natural beauty of the area and landscaping heightens the fun farm-friendly playground equipment. It is a playground any child would love to explore!


The park has plenty of shade, a beautiful covered pavilion, nature trails and bike path's, and gardens snuggled among the paths and play equipment. In my opinion, the park would best serve the under 6 set, however my 7 year old had fun swinging off the play structure and didn't complain much! So the next time you're off to discover new parts of Ann Arbor, take the kidd-o's to County Farm Park to wander.
Kids younger than 6 will especially love County Farm Park, however older
brothers and sisters will certainly find something to do!
