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 is now Wellington Park was set aside by the developer of the surrounding neighborhood to be used as public land. In 1948 the land was given to the Park Department. City Council voted in 1951 to develop the park.
