Confirmed from Shaw 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.

🌾 quiet & peaceful 3 mentions

Decent park. Pros: Has a pavilion, bathroom building, and several very large, but older play structures. Path leads from the parking lot to the bathrooms and then to the playground area. Lots of benches around the playground areas.

Always have a nice time with my girls here.🐿🍃 Its always my go to park as it is so close to our home. But most importantly, bc when its hot outside, its so nice and cool bc of all shade from the pretty trees🌳 That way my girls can play without me having to die from heat exhaustion while they play 🤣

very nice park. I was there to participate in an Eagle project of clearing vegetation, fixing a fence, and planting flowers around the Restroom building. The park looks even better than before now. There is a large newer play structure in the park and asphalt walking paths.

★★★★★ — Bill , Nov 2016

I enjoyed going for a walk there. And people friendly. It was a small group mix of people & it was pleasant to be around. I saw a older couple Seem madly in ❤️ they look like they are in their 70's or 80's . I thought to myself so adorable ☺️ 😍

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
