Olson Park
Address:
Ann Arbor,
Category: Parks
Olson Park is going to be Ann Arbor’s next new exciting park. This 54-acre parcel is jointly owned by the City of Ann Arbor and the County Drain Commissioner. Located on the corner of DhuVarren Road and Pontiac Trail south of M-14, the site’s main feature is a pond that was constructed to manage storm water for the Northeast area.
Designed to provide a balance of opportunities, the site will preserve existing natural features, including the wetlands and woods, the creek and pond, while providing active recreational facilities, including soccer fields and game courts. The park will also feature a paved loop as well as improvements to the existing network of mountain bicycle trails.
A significant feature of the site will be the restoration of native plant communities.
