Come join NAP to extend the trail system in this somewhat newer park. Brokaw, opened in 2017, is almost 25 acres—and is one of only two Ann Arbor parks where you can find shingle oaks. Because the wood could be easily split into thin pieces, this tree was used by early settlers for shingles and thus the name shingle oak. It is also the only oak with “entire” leaves, meaning that the leaves have no lobes. Meet at the parking lot off West Huron River Dr, just southeast of Wagner Rd.
