South Pond

Highlight • Lake

South Pond has an intriguing environmental history. What is now a pond surrounded by wetlands was originally prairie terrain before the construction of the Dixboro Dam flooded the area, turning it into a body of water. Chalmers and Malletts Creeks drain into the pond, which is gradually transforming into marshland over time. Across the way from this dynamic, changing landscape lies an oak savanna ecosystem, a rare and unique habitat dominated by oak trees and characterized by sparse groundcover and incredible biodiversity.

Gallup Youth Fishing Pond

Highlight • Lake

Three Ann Arbor parks have been designated as wildlife sanctuary areas with limits placed on permitted activities there by City Council. The designations were given to Gallup Park, across the Huron River from Huron High School, Dolph Park, in the westside Lakewood subdivisión, and Bird Hills Park located in northern Ann Arbor off Newport Road. The wildlife sanctuary designations means no hunting or trapping of animals or waterfowl will be allowed. Also, in all three parks council prohibited group picnicking or any other use by groups of more than 10, except for natural history interpretation, to protect the areas. In Gallup Park, the new regulations designated the small lake there as a "youth fishing pond", meaning only youths and accompanying adults can fish here. In Dolph Park, family picnicking has been restricted to designated picnic areas. Also, use of the First and Second Sister Lakes has been restricted to fishing and motorless boating.
