Montibeller Park — Attraction in Pittsfield Charter Township

The rolling green hills are perfect for picnics too, and there is always plenty of grass space to spread out and to feel "alone" even with others present. There are tennis courts, practice ball fields, a pavilion, bathrooms, and play structures. Absolutely something for everyone....

This little park is my favorite place in Ypsilanti. There's a great gathering area, fantastic playground, areas to play sports, walking trails - AND, if you walk toward the back of the park, cross the little bridge over the running water, there is a dilapidated tennis court that has been taken back by nature, and it's the most beautiful place to just sit and think or take pictures. I've sat in there and watched thunderstorms, I've sat in there and watched it snow - Bella (seen in pictures) and I love that we have a little oasis in the middle of the city where we can get...
