Description:
Gallup Park does not have sports fields as some of the other parks in Ann Arbor do, but the park provides a canoe livery and paddle boat rentals for those who seek more relaxing recreation. Bicycles, picnic shelters and observation decks for fishing and the contemplation of nature also are available.

The highlight of Gallup Park is its trail system, which covers more than three miles of land. The trail system consists of an eight-foot-wide asphalt trail that runs parallel to the Huron River. The trail extends to the east to Parker Mill Park and west to Furstenberg Park, both of which have sizable natural areas.

Gallup Park lends itself not only to hiking and fishing pursuits, but also to several annual events. The park hosts the Huron River Day at the beginning of July, an event designed to acknowledge the importance of the river and the role it plays in the community. The day's focus is illustrated in numerous displays, contests and events that stress the importance of the river. The Ann Arbor Blues and Jazz Festival also rocks Gallup Park for two days in September.
