Confirmed from Shakerag 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.
Park featuring a track and playground, as well as athletic fields, and picnic tables.
What runners say about Shakerag Park
“This one comes with legit hiking trails, two full pavilions, a playground, restrooms (yes, clean ones), picnic tables, grills, and even a fishing pier.”
“Great views of the lake but I need to come back when the trails are dry (too muddy for us to do the entire trial).”
“It’s shaded, which is a big plus during hot days, and it gives parents a place to relax while the little ones play safely.”
“The park is well maintained so that you can't see it, and the promenade near the entrance is a cozy and quiet path that I love.”
We had a picnic organized for the hiking group. It was very nice to get the two pavilions. There was space for the kids to play as well.
How on earth did I miss this park all these years? My son went to Shakerag Middle School right next door, and yet I never once set foot here until today. Big mistake. Because this place is a hidden masterpiece. Forget your typical neighborhood park.
There are 2 compact size playgrounds available, walkable trails, good view by the lake with soccer files, few amount of parking.
Cute little park and trail next to river trail middle school. Parking could be challenging during busy hours.
