Emilia Fichter

Open to everybody. Great place in which the archery program is held. It's like a piece of nature heaven just beside the road. Not so many trees but a nice prairie, a little bit short for my taste yet ideal for those who want a flat walk like toddlers. Plenty of curious bugs around, usually not annoying anybody due to the nice, open breeze. A restrooms is available when programs are in sessions. Visit the Washtenaw Parks and Recreation department for event registration. Ample parking.

Don't go for the kid's playground but for the view. It's a great spot for stone skipping or simply walking around. Recently paved, the pathway can be flooded pretty easily. Several picnic tables and grills, brand new. Accessible very close by car. Open spaces are suitable for playing outdoor games. If you go after a big rain most of the grass will be muddy. Sometimes I've found ticks so you just need to be careful.

Ample neighborhood park with a little playground structure. Potty restroom, no water fountain. Ideal for flying a kite or running/jogging in loops around paved path. A bit of noise from the highway is always in the background. A small shelter structure with picnic tables but not so many trees.

Ample park built from a previous golf course. Not so much shade but great play structures. Infant and toddler swings, small and big shelter nearby, water fountain and restrooms. Paved biking trails. Windy, might be good for flying kites.

Weird park with a skate ring and pool. We did found people sleeping there. Apparently this park has not had any maintenance in a decade.
