Confirmed from County Farm Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Green county park featuring a wooded area, fitness trails, gardens, playgrounds & picnic pavilions.
What runners say about County Farm Park
“It’s clear that the park is well-maintained, and the attention to detail in the landscaping made the experience all the more enjoyable.”
“There are ample trails, beautiful flower gardens, community garden beds, playground w/ restrooms & pavilions, and in the spring there are nice black raspberries for foraging.”
“There is one section geared towards toddlers and small children and it's a great place to let your kids run free without worry if they will hurt themselves.”
“One of our favorite and most serene places in all of Ann Arbor.”
Very lovely park! I love the community garden and the beautiful flowers. Walking areas are not all paved so it was hard with the stroller. It has restrooms and children park. It also has picnic areas with grills. Looking forward to going here again.
UPDATE 4-19-26 Beautiful, lots of paths to run, jog, walk. Vies of the Ann Arbor WaterTower ....Amazing Sunsets and if you like to see community gardens, this is the place. A park for children that is unique and used daily by many happy kids and parents.
Beautiful park. It is always clean and there is something new to see every time. I go for a walk every morning and it seems like I'm seeing something new each day. Great location for photography or for just taking your dog for a walk. Would recommend!
Very nice park with some walking trails and random exercise posts. Love the kids play area. There is one section geared towards toddlers and small children and it's a great place to let your kids run free without worry if they will hurt themselves.
