Ann Perkins (portrayed by Rashida Jones) is a character from the television series Parks and Recreation. She is first introduced into the series as a concerned citizen at a town meeting, bringing up the injury to her boyfriend Andy Dwyer (Chris Pratt) due to him falling into a pit.

This situation introduces the couple to the Parks and Recreation Department in the city of Pawnee. Much of the first season of the show is devoted to fixing this dangerous pit and from this we are introduced to a crazy array of characters and an amazing television show.

Ann is a nurse and becomes fast friends with Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler), the deputy director of the Parks Department. Through the project of turning the pit into a park, they become close and participate in many events together.

Ann eventually breaks up with Andy due to him prolonging his injury so that Ann can continue to wait on him. She moves on to a few different men before settling down with another government employee and moving away from Pawnee.

Although Ann leaves, she and Leslie still remain best friends and they continue to support one another in their lives. Their comical friendship is a true highlight of the show.
