This is a beautiful park.
I actually stumbled on it trying to find free parking bc I wanted to visit the Ypsilanti fire house museum.
In saying that... It is a 3 minute walk to the museum. This worked out great bc on the way back to the car.. This Park has a great playground, walking trails, and a bathroom.

The field and park needs a public...
Read moreThis place is very peaceful so if your looking for an area to wander or wonder or sit and eat. If your looking for a place to just be and observe, Frog Island is it. I walk this area quite often and I enjoy it because it is between a railroad track and the Huron River. Giving it a "in the cut" feel, you can come here and really get lost. Theres a walk way to ride bikes, walk, jog, run, and lots of grass to let pets exercise or again I say just be.
