County Charm

Even if you've been to this super deluxe and extremely CHARMING park a million times, it never gets old. And if you've never been to County Farm Park, it's time to get going!! This badge will lead you on a short trail walk and end by exploring the perennial garden! There's a bonus code (not required to earn the badge at the playground). Use the Badge Map embedded below to find the locations of each code. County Farm Park includes a playground, trails, a parkour exercise trail, a woods area, rentable pavilions, and perennial gardens. It's also home to a plethora of Project Grow Gardens! Head to the MAIN parking area off of Platt Rd, south of Washtenaw Ave. and Meri Lou Murray Rec Center.

Pro tips:

• This badge route takes you through a mix of sun and shade—bring sunscreen & water! 
• Trail paths are mostly gravel, some with uneven ruts and gentle grades.
• Wear suitable footwear, not flip-flops or backless sandals.
• Not suitable for strollers or wheelchairs. 
• The playground can't be avoided. If you bring kiddos, be prepared to spend time there at the end! :)

NOTE: The numbered pins on the badge map correspond to the CODES, not trail markers. So pay attention to the clues and trail maps as you go! :D

Approximately 0.8 miles from the parking lot.

GETTING THERE:

Driving? The address is 2230 Platt Road, Ann Arbor. Park at the main parking lot off of Platt (closest to the playground).

Busing? There are AATA bus stops on Washtenaw Avenue. You will have to walk from Washtenaw to the park entrance on Platt. Route 4 is the one that stops closest. Check out TheRide for more details. 

Begin 
From the parking lot, enter the park through the welcome ARCH that says County Farm Park. Walk up the path towards the playground and pavilions, and look for a large boulder on the left just past the arch! Stop at the boulder for your first code.
