Shawnee South Community Park

Recreational Facilities

Located in Topeka, Shawnee South Community Park is home to the Forbes Golf Course - a well-kept spot where you can work on your swing or play a full round. If golf isn't your thing, don't worry! The park features soccer fields and a two-diamond ball complex that works well for baseball or softball games, whether you're playing in a league or just tossing the ball around with friends.

Family-Friendly Areas

Planning a family get-together? The park's picnic and cookout areas make for ideal spots to spread out a blanket or fire up the grill. Kids can burn off energy at several playgrounds within the grounds, while you enjoy the surprisingly clean facilities (always a plus for a public park!). There's plenty of open space for little ones to run wild and enjoy the fresh air.

Community Center

The Paris Community Center is central to the park. It's a building where the community gathers for various recreational programs. From fitness classes to craft workshops, there's usually something interesting happening. The center also doubles as an event venue for community gatherings, so you might stumble upon a local celebration if you're lucky.

Additional Features

You'll find public restrooms across the park (because let's be honest, that's important information). There's also a charming triangle park perched at the top of the hill with even more play areas for the kids. If you get thirsty during your visit, head to the northeast corner where you'll discover a convenient drink vending machine.

Location

Situated near the Montara neighborhood, this park has become a favorite spot for locals of all ages. Its convenient location makes it easy to access whether you're planning a dedicated park day or just looking for a pleasant place to take an evening stroll.
