Parks offer outdoor fun

(Continued from Page 11)
Arbor with outdoor tables, grills, and
pumpwater in a verdurous setting on
the Huron River. Nearby is a party
store and a canoe livery. A favorite is to
"tube" down the rapids. Be prepared
for a $2 parking fee.
Ebel Field-a recreational park with
two baseball diamonds and a basketball
court. Good place to lie out in the sun
too.
Fuller Park-This massive park
houses the largest outdoor pool in the
area and has a spacious sundeck. Daily
admission is $1. Residents can obtain
season passes for $24. The pool has
three diving boards, one a high dive. An
outdoor concession stand overlooks the

deck. In back of the pool are four tennis
courts and a number of soccer fields.
Both University and City bus services
stop at the area.
Gallup Park-located on Geddes
Pond, this park is filled during the
weekends with outdoor en-
thusiasts-rollerskaters, cyclists,
canoeists, boaters, fishermen, windsur-
fers, you name it. Parking is rather
limited too.
Island Park-located adjacent to
Fuller Park, this picnicking park is also
the rest area of many tame ducks. Pic-
nic tables and grills are on this island of
the Huron.
Veterans Park-this recreation area
encompasses two outdoor pools (one for
kids), three tennis courts, and five
baseball diamonds. In addition, for
those who want some refreshingly cool
recreation, the ice arena offers an ideal
change. Skates may be rented. Ad-
mission is $1.50.
Of course, this list is by no means
comprehensive. Parks may be found in
almost every bend and corner in Ann
Arbor. Those wanting more infor-
mation should contact the city's Dept.
of Parks and Recreation.
