Confirmed from Shenango Community 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.
Sprawling park featuring a playground with swings, plus a tennis court and picnic tables.

Nice, a good little bit too do for not such a big park! Playground for kids, hiking in the woods, tennis, corn hole, bocce court! And a picnic area and, room to run
Nice park! My kids love the play ground and I loved the little workout trail they have there! They have really cleaned this park up!
Very clean nice park to enjoy the day with kids and loved ones they got new restroom grills for cookouts wish the only thing they need to do is fix up the fitness trail reasons why I went but was really muddy love working out when the kids play
Nice place for kids. Had birthday party there was excellent. Only negative was people must walk there dogs alot and not clean up. Not nice when you have kids running everywhere. May want to post some signs concerning this ?
