Nichols Arboretum is 123 acres of urban park. It's Ann Arbor's Central Park equivalent, but on the banks of the Huron River. It's good for frisbee, hackeysack, reading, jogging, cross country skiing, even dance concerts (I've seen them). It's an inviting place to spread a blanket and stay for 4 or 5 hours at a time - if you've got the time. There's also a path that leads from the Arb to the city's Gallup Park, where you can canoe or amble through wildflowers across a system of boardwalks/bridges that, in season, look suspiciously like something from a Monet painting.
