History
Ann Arbor's city parks sit on the ancestral and traditional homelands of several indigenous Native peoples. Read a land acknowledgement from the city and learn more about the early history of the land here.
The park was developed in the late 1980s as homes were built along Northbrook Drive and as Meadowbrook Village Apartments were developed.
