Shaw Park

A Green Oasis in Warren

Positioned on Warner Avenue, Shaw Park spreads across 44.2 acres of community space that's become a breath of fresh air for Warren residents. This spacious recreational area offers a good balance - large enough to find your own quiet corner, with facilities for everyone from morning joggers to weekend family gatherings.

The park feels both expansive and cozy at the same time, with clean grounds and a peaceful atmosphere where you can disconnect from the daily grind.

What You'll Find Here

If you're planning a get-together, you'll appreciate the picnic shelters complete with tables and grills that can host up to 72 people - ideal for those family reunions or birthday celebrations that need a bit more space than your backyard can offer.

Kids have their own dedicated play areas, however we should mention the equipment has been around for a while and could use some refreshing. Sports enthusiasts won't be disappointed with the baseball field, basketball courts, soccer fields, and tennis courts that dot the landscape, giving you plenty of options to break a sweat or join in some friendly competition.

Restrooms are available, although their condition and accessibility can vary depending on when you visit.

Natural Escapes

The walking paths might be our favorite feature - they meander through the park offering a pleasant route for your morning jog or afternoon stroll. There's something calming about following these open trails, where visibility is good and you can simply focus on enjoying the surroundings.

The park is well-maintained, creating a clean retreat that doesn't require driving far from Warren's neighborhoods. Keep an eye out for the friendly squirrels that call this place home - they're practically local celebrities at this point.

Four-Legged Friends Welcome

Dog owners, take note: Shaw Park has become something of an unofficial gathering spot for canine companions. The wide open spaces give your pup room to explore (while on leash), and the park thoughtfully provides dog waste bags to make cleanup easy.

The combination of grassy fields and accessible paths makes this an ideal spot to exercise both you and your furry friend without having to navigate crowded spaces.

Community at its Core

Shaw Park has naturally evolved into a community gathering place over the years, hosting organized sports leagues, impromptu picnics, and offering spaces for solitary moments of peace.

You'll discover a cross-section of the community here on any given day: retirees walking the paths in the morning, parents with young children at the playground after school, and sports teams practicing until dusk. Many locals visit regularly through changing seasons and years.
