Burns Park
From ArborWiki
Where: between Wells Street and Granger Avenue at Lincoln Street.Amenities: Softball diamonds, basketball court, a Burns Park playground, a small hill for sledding, lots of room to run your dog (please pick up after them and keep them on a leash). Next to Burns Park Elementary School.
Every spring the park is the starting point for the Burns Park Run, and when school lets out in the summer there's an ice cream social.
Formerly the County Fairgrounds for Washtenaw County, you can still see the remnants of the horse racing track in the form of two concentric, elliptical rows of trees. The former track is now just used for Burns Park Elementary School Gym class's dreaded "long-run," a tour-de-force of 5,280 feet, or four grueling laps around through the trees.
Note: Burns Park is also the name of the neighborhood surrounding the actual park.
