Wildwood Wandering

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 WILDWOOD area! 

In order to get this BADGE, you'll have to visit some of the beautiful Wildwood 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!

Hannah Nature Area 

Hollywood 

Kelly 

Maryfield Wildwood

Veterans Memorial

You can use Google Maps Street view to get most if not all the clues. The marks on the map above are where you have to set yourself down.

how sad that you aren't able to get out to the parks. I'm almost done with this badge and it has been really fun to step out of my car and check out each park. What a variety of parks (from very large with lots of amenities to very small with no amenities, not even a bench)! Thanks so much AADL for these great discovery badges!

I can't seem to get the right code for Vets Park either. I can see the sign and none of the configurations (with the hint) seem to work...

Hi! We also cannot figure out Kelly Park. We went there and have tried typing in different codes but none of them work.

How many signs are there at Vets?! I entered answers for 2, but nothing worked. Maybe you could add the location of the correct sign to the clue.

Hi there! Sorry for your trouble! The sign you want for this code is the BIG Vets Park sign on the corner of Maple and Jackson Road! The map above has a pin in the approximate place of the sign, but we've updated the clue to clarify this was well per you suggestion! We'll email you the correct code for Vets Park so you don't have to go back so keep an eye out on your inbox! Thanks for the suggestion and THANKS FOR PLAYING! :)

I am also having trouble with the vets code. I am using the big sign and can’t seem to get it right 😬

For Hollywood Park, its says the number of "O" on entire sign, and it's more than 3 because there are "O" in Arbor and Recreation, too

Hi there, @ekjensen, the Hollywood Park sign we're hoping to have you find only has two words on it "Hollywood Park." There aren't any additional emblems or words on this old park sign! If you think the sign might have been replaced since we wrote the clue and code, let us know!

Can you improve the hint for Kelly instead of just sending code? I tried east, west, south, north, front, back, left!

Hi @ekjensen, one of those words you named is the correct one! Make sure you're using the ENTIRE first line of text on the sign plus the side of the sign that the "no smoking" notice is on! If you need us to send the code, just let us know and thanks for playing!

Vets park sign code is not Memorial? or Veterans? Other choices that are 8 characters and above city of ann arbor. ?????
