What Are Your Favorite 'Green Spaces & Happy Places'?

Ann Arbor residents are being presented with a fun and visual way to declare and share which, among the more than 160 City of Ann Arbor parks and natural areas, are their favorites. Residents can pick up a free "Green Spaces, Happy Places" yard sign — featuring an area to write in the one or two city parks and/or natural areas that bring them the most joy. While supplies last, the cheerful yard signs are available to pick up at the following locations:

  • Ann Arbor Senior Center, 1320 Baldwin Ave.
  • Buhr Park Pool, 2751 Packard Road
  • Fuller Park Pool, 1519 Fuller Road
  • Huron Hills Golf Course, 3465 E. Huron River Drive
  • Larcom City Hall, 301 E. Huron St.
  • Veterans Memorial Park Pool, 2150 Jackson Ave.

Once the yard sign is filled out and in place, residents are invited to post a picture on the city Facebook, X and Instagram pages, using #GreenSpacesHappyPlaces #AnnArborParks. Community members without outdoor space could also choose to display their sign, if allowed, in a window of their home. The city urges residents to not place yard signs in city rights-of-way, which would violate ordinance and pose a hazard. Learn more about Ann Arbor Parks & Recreation at www.a2gov.org/parks.
