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.

“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…

★★★★★ — Carolyn , Jun 2023

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.

★★★★★ — Eddie , May 2023

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.

★★★★★ — Daniel , Jul 2025

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!

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
