Overview
Washtenaw County Parks holds over 5,400 acres of land, including many high quality natural areas. Most of the county’s parks also have a less well-known historic significance.
Some of the most historically significant parks include:
Parker Mill County Park - The historic Parker Mill, one of the many mills that once dotted the length of the Huron River, is located within the boundaries of the park. Prior to the Civil War and the Parkers arrival, Washtenaw County was a lumbering capital as well as the nation s breadbasket. Located in Ann Arbor, the park features an operating historic gristmill with tours on Sundays in the fall. It also has walking trails and connects to the City of Ann Arbor’s Gallup Park.
