Confirmed from Montibeller 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.
Park featuring a playground, walking trails & picnic areas, plus sports facilities & restrooms.
What runners say about Montibeller Park
“It's clean with lots of options for kids to play on, and plenty of space for adults to relax.”
“Beautiful playgrounds, rolling hills, volleyball and tennis courts.”
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…
Great park with tennis courts, multiple baseball/softball fields, two large playgrounds, excellent pavillions, and plenty of green space to walk around or organize games and events. There are also plenty of trees for shade, water fountains, and bathrooms on site.
Ann arbors best park. Very large with walking paths, and 2 sets of playground equipment. There's also a full pavilion and plenty of parking. Everything is well taken care of. We live in maybee and come here every week.
The new pavilion at Montibeller Park is a really nice addition. I wish the playground was a bit more updated, but overall it's a nice park. There are trails in the back that many people don't even know about!
