Confirmed from Shannon Valley 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.
Clean neighborhood park with a playground, trails and a basketball court.
What runners say about Shannon Valley Park

“Very clean and quiet park with trails in a nice neighborhood.”
Nice little neighborhood park and playground. Beautiful paved walk along the river with a couple spots to get a great view.
This is a decent but not great neighborhood park. It is mostly used for walking a dog or stroller, a pavilion, a tennis court and a basketball court. It also has a snippet of a main bike path for longer rides. There is a reasonable amount of parking.
Great little park along the trail system. There's a couple gazebos for having a picnic, along with a playground, tennis courts, basketball and more. You're just a short trip from Corporate Woods if you want to bike/stroll along the trails.
