Shannon Hill Memorial Park
Shannon Hill Memorial Park is tucked away near Valdosta State University. While this park is still close to town, it’ s nestled in a residential area which makes it ideal for anyone who wants to avoid loud traffic and big crowds. The park has a lot of trees, which makes it well shaded for anyone looking for a slightly cooler location to spend a summer day. It doesn’ t have as many amenities as the other parks but is a nice spot to bring any little ones looking to play.
Shannon Hill has a decent sized playground with places to climb, slides, swings, a merry-go-round, and a musical area with drums and chimes. There is a decently sized green space here as well for playing sports or games. For parents bringing their children there are benches all around the park to sit on and relax in the shade. You can bring lunch, or even make lunch on the grill in the park, and eat at the picnic area.
