To report any maintenance issues or other problem during your park visit, please report through A2Fix It​. Keep in mind that parks are large spaces and A2 Fix It requests can be hard​​ to find without detailed information. When reporting an issue in a park please include location details. There is a details and description section near the end of the request process to help you provide this. Users can also​ utilize the pin (website) or X (mobile app) feature to provide specific location information inside the park. Please consider including a wide angle photo, which helps staff find and fix the problem. ​​​​​​​​​

Hi​st​​ory​

Ann Arbor's city parks sit on the ancestral and traditional homelands of several indigenous Native peoples. Read a land acknowledg​ement​​ from the city and learn more about the early history of the land here​.​

Cloverdale Park and Huron Highlands Park​ were acquired by the city in 1960, when the development of the surrounding neighborhood was approved. The playground at Cloverdale was constructed in 1999, a year after public input. A variety of trees were planted in the park in 2000, after a neighborhood controversy​ over trees that had been cut down in the park.​​
