Playground of the Week: Fuller Park

Fuller Park is located on Fuller Road directly across the street from University of Michigan Hospital. This park sits on 60 acres of recreation area between Fuller Road and Maiden Lane. The play structure was designed and built by the community and is one of the largest in Ann Arbor. The Huron River surrounds the perimeter of the park and there is a pedestrian bridge that connects to Island Park (don't worry though mamas there is several soccer fields between the play structure and the water).

SPECIAL FEATURES & PLAYGROUND NOTES

The playground is a large wooden structure. It does not include a large slide, but the bridge and monkey bars were highlights for my daughters. Note that the monkey bars have a wooden bridge beneath it which makes it perfect for younger kids, but older kids would be too tall.
Because of the play structure's design my girls loved pretending that it was their ice palace.

There is 1 tire swing. No regular swings or baby swings are available.
The play structure is surrounded by a wooded area that makes for a unique exploring and climbing area.
Also a Totem Pole is present.

Playground is covered in mulch throughout.
The play structure is right next to Fuller Park Pool.
Several athletic fields are available, but require a reservation. For more information or to reserve call the Parks Customer Service office at 734.794.6230.
