About the Location

Natural Features

As its name suggests, the park is characterized by mature oak trees that offer ample shade throughout the grounds. The park features a paved loop trail that winds through remnant orchards and along the west bank of Coyote Creek, offering visitors a chance to enjoy nature and observe local wildlife.

This trail, known as the Odette Morrow Trail, is approximately 1 mile long and includes mileage markers for those tracking their distance. Shady Oaks Park connects to the larger Coyote Creek trail system, making it a popular spot for walkers, joggers, and cyclists.

Recreation Facilities

For families with children, the park offers two separate playground areas: one designed for children ages 2-5 and another for ages 5-12. These play areas provide a safe and enjoyable space for younger visitors to explore and have fun.

The park also caters to sports enthusiasts with its basketball court, allowing for casual games or more organized play. For those looking to stay fit, an outdoor exercise court equipped with fitness equipment enables visitors to incorporate a full-body workout into their park visit.

Amenities

Picnic areas scattered throughout the park provide ideal spots for family gatherings or quiet lunches. While these areas are not reservable and operate on a first-come, first-served basis, they contribute to the park's welcoming atmosphere for community recreation.

The park's location near the intersection of Silver Creek Valley Road and Coyote Road makes it easily accessible to the surrounding community. This 10.3-acre community park provides a peaceful retreat for local residents and visitors alike.
