It was 10/10/10 and we set out on a very pleasant fall afternoon to visit 10 Ann Arbor parks -- and we ended up visiting 12. It's amazing how many parks not only are so close to each other but also so close to our house. And here they are, in no particular order....
Redbud Nature Area -- A pleasant wooded T-shaped path. We saw two others who seemed to be walking with purpose.
Sylvan -- Nicely set-up, with a bridge to a wooded area, and new tennis courts. Numerous neighborhood kids were having great fun on the swings and play structure.
Terhune -- This is a cemetery -- with a view! 
Turnberry -- Just a long leafy buffer for US 23, but it's nicely appointed with new playground structures
Rose -- A very small park, and pretty run-down, we're sorry to say
Mill Creek -- Just enough room was provided for a little play structure in what is otherwise a large parking structure lot for part of this subdivision
Brookside -- A small park on a busy corner
Stone School -- Situated behind the school parking lot, it's basically a soccer field
Molin Nature Area -- We took a meandering and cooling walk on a nice out-and-back path
The Ponds -- A nice newer-looking neighborhood park
BONUS Parks:
Scarlett Mitchell Nature Area -- We wandered onto the backside edge of this park, which is just down the block from Turnberry
Clinton -- Across the street from Brookside and busier and more crowded than any park we've visited since we started this adventure
