Folkstone Park

Overview

Folkstone Park is a small 3 acre forested nature area in the northeast of Ann Arbor, between Green Road and US 23. View the Ann Arbor Parks and Nature Areas map for location context. Trails cross through the park and connect it to Greenbrier Park to the north. This park contains a good example of the oak-hickory forests that once filled this area. The understory of this forest is rich with rue anemone, bladdernut, Virginia waterleaf and blue stemmed goldenrod. Within the forest is a small wetland, a nice place to look for frogs in the spring.

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.

As the area south of Greenbrier Park began to be developed, Folkstone was dedicated to preserve some of the woods in the area.
