With fewer employees working in offices, several companies have begun turning toward off-site retreats and meetups to foster connection and improve employee morale. These off-site experiences are flipping traditional business travel on its head: Rather than emphasizing coworking, meetings and other work-centric itineraries, off-site retreats are often designed to encourage relationship building.

Ann Arbor Parks & Recreation (Parks & Rec) is asking locals to help pick out the location through an online community survey.

The shelter is 24′x’28 and will involve adding two ADA parking spaces and a walkway to the pavilion.

Parks & Rec has surveyed three potential sites. Each has advantages and disadvantages including proximity to the parking lot or athletics courts and the degree of work needed during installation.

The pavilion was donated by the Community Action Network, an organization connecting Washtenaw County families to community resources.

Leslie Park is located off Dhu Varren Road.
