The playground at Ann Arbor’s Fuller Park will soon be completely replaced following a series of community engagement discussions.
The wooden structure at Fuller Park has stood for nearly four decades since 1989. It’s changing to meet the play needs of a new generation.
Hillary Hanzel is the landscape architect capital project manager for the City of Ann Arbor. She says the estimated $400,000 project will focus on preserving the area’s natural aesthetic. She says a boulder mountain and various timber play equipment will be added to the park.
“Another thing we’ve heard from people was providing a variety of play equipment for a range of kids of all ages because there’s a different levels of challenge that each age group needs.”
A virtual public meeting will be held on June 3rd at 7 PM to review the final concept plan.
Construction begins this fall.
