Glazier Hills Park is a public park located off of fEast Dobson Place in Ann Arbor (Woodlands Subdivision). The only entrance to the park is by way of easement between 3412 and 3420 E. Dobson Place. The 2 property owners adjacent to the easement have planted trees and shrubs which completely block the entrance. The parcel is landlocked and this is the only way to enter the park. Can you have the adjacent land owners remove the block to the entrance? Can you also install a sign indicating that there is a public park and install a path so members of the public know how to enter the park.

and contour a flat area half way down the hill. The plantings have eliminated the erosion After heavy downpours, rocks do have to be replaced

Guenther building company placed in excess of 20 evergreens in the easement
All but one was lost due to erosion.
With permission and coordination with the city of Ann Arbor, 9 were replaced. Of these 4 have been lost to erosion. 2 of the trees lost were removed by contractors hired and paid by the city. The erosion problem has been a joint effort between the neighbors and the city. And successful.

The low area had a path that was supported by 2 bridges of steel pipes in 1988. In less than 2 years the lower path and bridges were destroyed. The park is in a flood plane. The carcasses of steel are still present but moved by the flow of water. The supporting structures are gone. The creek has the largest change in elevation in the Huron river chain per the Huron river watershed council. The water flow is impressive in a heavy downpour.
We determined with the city years ago that a path was not possible and the area could be dangerous in heavy flow.

Forgot the comment about the easement being the only access to the park. The park in fact has a border with Glazier Road When the road was paved many years ago there was talk at the public meetings at the baptist church to add an access point from Glazier but the idea was dropped due to the flooding and erosion. City administrator said it was not worth the cost.
Also, a City parks representative met with one of the neighbors 3 years ago and indicated the easement looked great. Thanked us for our help to preserve the integrity of the hill.

While a gravel or dirt path would likely be inadequate, as it would in many Ann Arbor parks, there is no reason that an asphalt path can't be installed.
The people in the Woodlands have a right to access their neighborhood park.
It's time to revisit the issue of opening the park via an asphalt path and a possible retaining wall.

Any development of the park will be destroyed by flooding. We've already been down this road. Have you looked at the property? Bring your hip boots. It's a great green space.
