Shannon Park

a review from @amom2kidsandapark

With two playgrounds and a splash pad between it’s the perfect park for a hot day.
We checked out this park after one of our days hiking the Martin Canyon Creek Trail in search of the leprechaun doors. It’s so close and a perfect bonus to a hike, especially when the water in on at the splash pad!
The larger playground has three slides (spiral, double, sidewinder), steps, ladders (including a rope tube ladder), climbing walls (rock and rope), a bridge, a tunnel, gymnastics bars, and more! Behind the playground is a raised sandbox with a lot of sand!
The smaller play area has a structure with two slides, ladders, steps and space above and below for play. In this area there is a swing set (bucket only) and a ride on rocking toy.
Between the two play areas is the splash pad, shaded picnic tables, bathrooms, and outside showers plus lots of floor space for chalk art.
Although the splash pad was not full of all the bells and whistles, the kids had fun and enjoyed the cool down on a hot day. The ground isn't typical splash pad flooring but instead more like cement. Water shoes are encouraged to eliminate slipping.
The park has a huge hilly grass area with a picnic area covered by solar panel roof, trails, bridges, a community center, a water fountain (no swimming!), a mosaic wall with all sorts of animals, and a huge metal sculpture.

There is a very large parking lot.

I've yet to see such a well dressed, expansive and easily accessible community center in East Bay. This was a true find! We attended a 300+ person fun filled event with music, food, DJ and dancing and everything was flawless!!

Perfect park for ages 1-12. Has baby swings, a see-saw, several sizes of slides and climbing apparatuses, a sand box and picnic tables. Also a splash park in summer.

Clean and family friendly park with plenty of shade for picnics

Great local park with clean restrooms, water playground as well as play structures for big and little kids. It is also one of the parks designated for safe fireworks.

Nice park for toddlers and kids

Its a water park kids can have so much fun and even adults it has a little playground.

Great small park amazing water features and annual fireworks gathering.

Great Park. Lots of picnic tables. Has an area for older children and younger children. Has a great water feature. Lots of benches to sit on and watch the kids. Kids were on skateboards. Lots of dogs walking by. We were there 3 hours and really enjoyed it.

Great local park. Plenty of parking and restrooms.

Great park! Two playground structures, a fountain, and a water splash area. Plus there are picnic tables and well maintained restrooms. Plenty of grassy areas to run around in and paths for riding bikes and scooters for little ones. It's often windy at this park especially in the late afternoon, but I guess that's true for a lot of places in the Dublin area.

This is a great park, the play structure is great as well as the greenery and nearby creek. Bathroom availability also gains favor from me, as some places don't have bathrooms. Water area is also pretty great too!

This is a great park with many different elements for different age groups to gather here. This park includes two play structures (one for younger children and one for older children), park bench-tables in two different locations, a large grassy field, and a small creek to explore for those interested. This park is a great location to hold gatherings, whether it be birthday parties or playdates, and can serve the needs of many different types of events. It should also be noted that this park has a community center which is available for use through Dublin Parks and Recreation.

Nice hilly grass area, good for privacy and hanging out. The creek behind it is also nice for walking along, and its near a library or public center.

It's a very nice park, quite big for kids to play and bike. Has lot of benches for socializing. Clean and well maintained.

We enjoyed July 4th fireworks in this park. A beautiful park with creek view.

Lovely park with many hidden trails and fun activities

Visited for a birthday party! Beautiful park..would be visiting more often for the weekend kids time!

Well maintained, clean restrooms, nice play structures for the kids. Several picnic tables and plenty of grass, also.

Classic Dublin Park, super clean beautiful views
