Confirmed from City of Shelby Hanna Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Grassy park with trails, picnic shelters, playground and ball fields.
What runners say about City of Shelby Hanna Park
“My family and I moved to NC not to long ago, as a mom of 2 toddlers (2year old, 4 year old) finding a clean, quiet, up-kept park is very important.”
“Well we didn't go on the hiking trails personally, the ones that did said that there were well maintained and very beautiful.”
“Great park super clean and for all ages my kids loved it”
Great place for picnics, just to walk through the trails, enjoy the covered picnic areas. They also have baseball fields for Little League.
Just beautiful! And very clean, both the playground and walking trails.
Really nice park, rubber play ground floors, different sizes of equipment for different ages and plenty of field space to run. There's a pretty wooded trail to walk also. Difficult for bikes with training wheels.
This is a beautiful soccer field! The walking trails are lovely. I just wish they sold coffee at the concession stand.
