Show some love to South Maple Park! Join the City of Ann Arbor’s Office of Sustainability and Innovations and the Ann Arbor Parks Volunteer Program for a volunteer workday focused on caring for the park’s playground area.
South Maple Park is a 7.83-acre park on Ann Arbor’s west side, located off Liberty Street just west of South Maple Road. The park includes a play area, open grass fields, tennis courts with pickleball striping, and a wooded area that helps separate different parts of the park.
During this event, volunteers will focus on weeding under and around the playground equipment. This hands-on work helps keep the play area cleaner, safer, and more welcoming for children, families, and neighbors who visit the park throughout the season.
Whether you’re a longtime volunteer or joining us for the first time, this is a great opportunity to spend time outdoors, connect with community members, and make a visible impact in a neighborhood park.
No prior experience is necessary—staff will provide all tools, supplies, training, and guidance throughout the event.
Come lend a hand, meet your community, and show your love for South Maple Park!
