We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Shaw Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
Swings and playgrounds at a renovated park where families can come for informal recreation.
What runners say about Shaw Park
“Awesome clean park, have a variety of constructions for diferent ages and swings.”
This park is better than the pictures give it credit for. Once the trees fill out I think it'll be more beautiful. The park has been renovated/updated, looks nice and would be interesting for any kids who goes there for the first time.
I love this park and have been coming here for like 3-5 years and I play soccer in the field walk my dogs here too on today's adventure at the park I found a chicken and I thought "I have to follow it" I followed it and it found its way home till next time park (I'll edit if there are new cool stories I have)
Awesome clean park, have a variety of constructions for diferent ages and swings. Great for walk you dog or simple to go and walk yourself.
