Like to run or just be outdoors?
The 700 acres of the Nichols Arboretum and Matthaei Botanical Gardens offer a gorgeous place to run, jog or picnic. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the city’s canoe liveries, outdoor pools and parks. And don’t forget the golf courses and ice rinks—both U-M and the city have those too.
