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 land that became Winewood Thaler park was acquired by the city in 1974 for the purpose of providing a greenspace for the neighborhood's residents. In 1976 a questionnaire was mailed to the neighborhood's residents soliciting public input before development began. Development of the park commenced in 1977. In 2010, Chuck Warpehoski and Nancy Shore were honored by a mayoral proclamation for their volunteer work at the Park.

Active Adopters

Winewood Thaler Park neighbors partner with Adopt-a-Park and Natural Area Preservation to advocate for park improvements and work on various projects and tasks including weeding and spreading woodchips on the playgrounds, maintaining garden beds and removing invasive vegetation. Email [email protected] or call 734.794.6445 if you are interested in participating in these projects or would like to notified of upcoming neighborhood workdays.
