Mixtwood Pomona Park

Mixtwood Pomona Park is a small yet well-loved neighborhood park located at the junction of Mixtwood Street and Pomona Road in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Spanning less than half an acre, this serene green space offers a charming, family-friendly environment amidst a group of tall oak and hickory trees that provide ample shade. This makes it an ideal setting for outdoor relaxation and play, particularly in warmer months.

The park features a modest playground equipped with a play structure, swings, and a sandbox, which makes it a popular spot for young children. Noteworthy among the park's natural highlights is a Champion Tree: a pignut hickory, the largest of its species in the city, adding to the park's unique character. Visitors can also find picnic tables and benches scattered conveniently under the tree canopy, allowing for comfortable seating and picnicking options.

Street parking is readily available on nearby roads, and the park is easily accessible by foot or bicycle. The surrounding neighborhood streets are walker- and bike-friendly, with sidewalks and bike lanes on nearby North Maple Road. However, the park does not include bike racks or restrooms. A bus stop on North Maple Road, within a five-minute walk, connects the park to public transportation options. This pocket-sized park is especially suited for local residents looking for a quiet area to enjoy nature or entertain their children.
