Are you looking for Ann Arbor Parks with Merry Go Rounds?
Merry Go Rounds were staples of playgrounds when I was a kid. When I started taking my daughter to playgrounds, I was disappointed not to find many merry go rounds. We finally found one when we were at Allmendinger Playground for a preschool playdate. Since then we have found playgrounds at several more playgrounds.
Our Merry Go Round list includes both traditional merry go rounds (flat metal base with metal bars) and a newer style that is plastic with molded seats (shown below). The first time my daughter encountered the merry go round at Allmendinger, she slid off as older kids were pushing the merry go round. The newer style lets kids sit safely in the center.
Since 2015, Ann Arbor with Kids profiles a playground a week each summer (except 2020). We have nearly 80 playground profiles throughout the Ann Arbor area and shared information about them with our community.
