We love a fenced in, or partially enclosed playground!

Shaw Park was the playground I learned to do the monkey bars when I was little and I was so excited to take the boys here to play. Though the playground is very different than what it was when I was a kid I will say I think it’s much cooler now than it was back then.

There is a water feature during the summertime. However, it was closed on the automated we visited. The playground is like a treehouse theme, which is really cute! There’s a treehouse to climb up to, along with a ramp that goes to the clubhouse. There’s lots of telescopes and slides to also play in.

There’s plenty of things for our younger friends, including several of baby swings. While our young family enjoyed this park, as we were leaving a large group of kids maybe 10 and up came to play. They were having a blast playing tag on the large playground!

While I didn’t notice many benches or picnic tables, Shaw Park is a large park to find seating in one of their multiple pavilions.
