Gallup Park

[3] The longest pathway in Gallup Park carries the Border-to-Border Trail for 3.25 miles (5.23 km), from Mitchell Field upstream to Geddes Dam downstream, parallel to the tracks of the Michigan Line.

The park borders the Nichols Arboretum and Huron Hills Golf Course, but access is obstructed by the Michigan Line railroad tracks.

[7] Gallup Park serves as a habitat for multiple species of birds, especially in a meadow of sedge on the north side of the river.

Embracing Our Differences Michigan focuses on the topic of diversity, equity, and inclusion, presenting artworks from local and national artists of all ages.

The site was only accessible from the back of the adjacent Huron Hills Golf Course, separated by the main line of the Michigan Central Railroad.

The designs emphasized the role of water in the site, with a series of artificial islands in the middle of Geddes Pond connected by bridges.

[17] A new bridge opened in October 2024, providing additional space for pedestrians and cyclists and retaining a single car lane.

Gallup was known for his personal flair and his conservation of scarce resources, and his initiatives resulted in the creation of Ann Arbor icons such as The Rock.

The boulder, excavated during the construction of Huron Hills Golf Course, was found in a maintenance yard after his death, and dedicated in his memory.
