Discovering Downtown
The City of Ann Arbor has a LOT of parks, so we've broken them up into convenient groups! For this badge, you'll be in the DOWNTOWN area!
In order to get this BADGE, you'll have to visit some of the beautiful Downtown sites and find the main sign for each park! Your codes will all be based off the sign itself or the nearby surrounding area!
Some of these are neighborhood parks with little to no parking. Please be respectful of the neighbors of these parks, and PLEASE be safe and aware of traffic when seeking out these park signs! You've got all summer to find these, so no rush!
Below are the SPECTACULAR places this badge will lead you to with the links to the city pages for each park in alphabetical order, and here's a map to help you find each sign. Use this map to know EXACTLY where each sign is! Street addresses and google maps can be misleading! Plan your own route and be careful!
Can't make it to these places or has construction season foiled all your park exploring plans?? No worries! Contact us for a handy guide to get your CODES!
Want to see where we'll be leading you in the Park Explorer series this summer? Here's a map of ALL the locations from ALL the badges!

Unfortunately not! While Hanover Square Park is definitely beloved, a small amount of city parks were omitted from the Park Explorer badge series for a variety of reasons and Hanover Square Park was one of them! That being said, PLEASE feel free to visit Hanover Square Park and show it some LOVE! Also, thanks for playing! :)

The sign for Sculpture Park…
The sign for Sculpture Park is one of the trickier ones since Sculpture Park doesn't have a typical park sign like other city parks! The sign with this code is in the grassy area in front of the People's Food Co-Op :) Thanks for asking AND playing!
