ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Several public playgrounds in Ann Arbor will be closed for resurfacing during the week of May 31.

The playgrounds will receive engineered wood fibar, a wood product often used on playgrounds due to its ability to absorb impact and meet the needs of those with accessibility concerns.
