We live about 20 minutes from Shaw Nature Reserve and get a membership here every year. We have walked on all of their trails with our family and friends. It is by FAR one of the best parks around. Our kids love walking these trails and playing at their playground. It is always a hit for us.
Beautiful!! Well cared for and clean facilities and grounds. The staff are friendly and helpful. We arrived a few minutes before one of the gates was scheduled to be closed. The young woman who greeted us asked if we were wishing to go down to the river and offered to call down and request of the staff who close the gate to hold off until after we'd gone through. So very thoughtful of them all!! We had enough time to walk to the river and enjoy a couple of hours of the lovely reserve before closing time.
Great music. Lovely evening.
Wonderful, refreshing and rejuvenating place to encounter nature--beautiful! I love all the wildflowers and birds! There's always something blooming. The landscape/terrain is variable and makes hiking fun.
My son and I love this place.. lots of activities; an amazing variety of animals and plants..
Awesome hiking trails! The wildflowers are just amazing right now in the summertime. Also, the wetlands are amazing with the tropical water lilies covering the entire ponds.
Shaw Nature Reserve was the perfect place for my daughter’s 2nd Birthday Party! The kids and adults enjoyed nature themed crafts in the Carriage House and we loved exploring the garden and children’s nature classroom. Thanks to Jon and all of the people who helped make it a great celebration!
We love it here! So Beautiful and my kids enjoy the play area/trails! I love that I don't have to worry as much! Staff is always helpful and friendly!
this place is an absolute jewel!
