North Main Park

Location and Access

Tucked just north of downtown Ann Arbor, North Main Park might be small (only half an acre), but it packs a lot of charm into its compact footprint. This little green space offers a quick nature break from the city bustle, with its accessible paved path connecting North Main Street to North 4th Avenue. It's essentially a pleasant shortcut with benefits - well-suited for pedestrians navigating this busy part of town.

Park Features

Don't expect playgrounds or sports courts here - North Main Park keeps things simple with verdant greenery and a sense of calm. While it won't take you long to explore from end to end, it plays an important role in Ann Arbor's impressive network of green spaces.

The park's thoughtful design makes it ideal for a peaceful stroll or just sitting for a moment to collect your thoughts. It's a nice reminder that urban parks don't need to be massive to be meaningful - sometimes the small ones that connect neighborhoods are just as important to a city's fabric.
