Adams Park

Adams Park is a newly renovated park located at 1051 Oakland Avenue in Birmingham, Michigan. The park is now open to the public, although some features such as benches and litter/recycling receptacles are still being installed. Temporary litter containers are in place for the time being. Please note that the new sod in the park is still being established, so there will be no regularly scheduled activities on the grass for the rest of the year. It is important to stay off the new sod to ensure its proper growth and durability.

The park project is nearing completion, with the play area almost finished and trees and landscaping being added. The park features a basketball court, track and field elements, a garden seating plaza, and many new trees. The park also includes an open grassy area that can be used for field sports. Construction began in June 2022 and is expected to be completed soon.

The City of Birmingham purchased the 1.46 acre green space from Roeper School in 2006 for park purposes. The park property is open to the public, but Roeper School is permitted to use the park for activities during the school year. The park improvements were funded by the voter approved Parks and Recreation Bond, and feedback from the community was taken into consideration during the planning process.

Residents are encouraged to review the 2021 Adams Park Concept Plan and provide feedback on the design. The park is intended to be a multi-functional space that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Suggestions for additional features, such as an ice rink or pickle ball court, are welcome. The goal is to create a vibrant and dynamic park that reflects the needs and desires of the community. We look forward to celebrating the completion of the park with a ribbon cutting ceremony in late October.
