Show some love to Garden Homes Park! Wrap up our Park Spotlight week at this beloved neighborhood park by giving back during our Love a Park Volunteer Workday! Throughout the week, Ann Arbor Parks & Recreation is highlighting this park with engaging programs for children and families. Whether you’ve attended events earlier in the week or are joining us for the first time, we invite community members of all ages to help care for the park while connecting with neighbors and supporting the spaces we all enjoy.
To keep the play area safe, we’ll be spreading a fresh layer of play-safe woodchips under and around the equipment using wheelbarrows, pitchforks, and rakes. This task makes a big difference in safety and helps the playground look well cared for.
Come lend a hand, meet your community, and show your love for a local Park!
