Buhr Park is a relatively large, multi-purpose park located at 2751 Packard Street in southeast Ann Arbor in-between two other expansive city-area parks: County Farm Park and Mary Beth Doyle Park.

A sweeping, sprawling swath of emerald green grass, rolling gently over scenic hills and between various leafy deciduous trees, Buhr Park is 39 acres of family fun. Here you will also discover several attractive picnic areas containing barbecue grills, a play area specifically for the wee little ones, and a number of soccer fields, tennis courts and softball diamonds.

In addition to the pastoral grounds, Buhr Park houses some phenomenal sports and recreational facilities. Here are some details on the major ones:

Buhr Outdoor Ice Arena
This outdoor ice skating rink has a specialized sub-floor built into it, which allows the City of Ann Arbor to keep the ice open and maintained as long as the temperature outside stays above 50 degrees. Whether you are a figure skater or hockey player, the Buhr Park Ice Arena invites you to drop in sometime. Don't have skates? No problem; Rentals are available.

Drop-In Roller Hockey
The puck drops on roller hockey on May 25 and runs Saturdays from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. and Sundays from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. until Sept. 1. Skaters of all ages and skill levels are welcome to come on by and have some fun.

Buhr Outdoor Pool
The Buhr Outdoor Pool features six 25-yard lanes, a deep well, and a zero-depth entry wading pool for the kiddies that's separated from the big pool and contains interactive water toys.

Buhr Park Pool Day Camp
From June 17 through Aug. 30 the Buhr Outdoor Pool runs a day camp that provides theme-related games, snacks, and other activities, such as group games, arts and crafts, and various sports. Licensed by the State of Michigan, the day camp is supervised by staff members who hold current certifications in CPR and First Aid from the American Red Cross.

Cobblestone Farm and Museum
Cobblestone Farm and Museum is a volunteer-run weekly gathering of local farmers, craftspeople and musicians, who offer fresh vegetables, berries, eggs, honey and much more. It is located on the grounds of the Ticknor-Campbell Farmhouse Museum, a 19th century-era farm, featuring authentic items and artifacts in realistic setting.
