Shady Park

Great little park, albeit not as quiet as some others around the area, due to the frequent traffic noise. Unfortunately not a lot of bird song (or birds for that matter) but saw some squirrels.
There’s a great gazebo on the middle, lots of benches and cool quirky artwork. The variety of plants (small bushes and trees) are super colourful. Restful and rejuvenating.

Great spot with more space than you relieze! They have an amazing led tv on a huge patio that is great for watching football and crazy visuals at shows. The back patio is massive and allows for a nice dance floor with live music the longest bar on Mill ave to supply people with $ 4 drafts all night. They still even have another bar inside if you wanna chill and eat pizza. Great spot!

Stumble upon this cute little park right after we finished eating breakfast at the coop. Awesome park for kids. They have the little water fountain that the kids will be sure to enjoy!

Shady Park hosts a monthly craft fair put on by the Hannibal Square Merchants Association on the 4^th Saturday each month. It’s a great little park with lots of trees to shade the area and benches to have a seat. It’s right in the heart of Hannibal Square with all the shops and restaurants and just a few blocks from the Winter Park train station. It’s a nice little walk around and far less crowded than Park Avenue. There’s plenty of parking too! They have a 3-​story covered parking garage at Lyman and E. Hannibal Avenue.

Was here recently as a vendor (CC Small Creations) for their West End Craft Fair. The park is really nice with a lot of shade and areas for picnics. It is also close to the shops and restaurants and is in front of the Community Center.

Great for little kids (7 and under I would say) but not so much for older kids because there is not a lot of different things to do. There is no playground; just the little splash pad and some musical game. There are tables in the shade to eat lunch but the only benches by the splash pad are directly in the sun. So I would suggest to bring your own chair so you can sit around the water in the shade. At least the splash pad itself is shaded by trees.
It looks like they are building a pavilion because it is currently under construction. But in the mean time there is only 1 small table (sits about 8) to host a birthday party.
The musical game is made for older kids because you have to be tall enough to play. Tip: there is covered on/​off switch on the backside on the game on the breaker panel to turn on the game. There is a new community center and pool that looks brand new.
This place is a little hard to find. Even with GPS it said we arrived at our destination but we had to keep going at least another block or two. It’s at the corner of Pennsylvania and New England. Turn onto Pennsylvania to get to a smaller parking lot right next to the splash pad. Otherwise there is plenty of parking at the lot off of New England.

I’ve been taking 2 of my dogs on weekly Sunday walks around our neighborhood. We’re so blessed to have a scenic area to explore. I usually take my pups on walks through Hannibal Square and then to this park to sit on the bench and hang out until our walk home.
This is a small little park with several benches and picnic tables. And lots of trees too which helps when the sun is just unbearable. I noticed a sprayground for the kids to run through but it looks like it’s only functioning during certain parts of the year. Probably more towards summertime.
I noticed a church towards the back of the park so if you listen closely on Sundays, you can hear some singing going on. I also like the molecular dog statue… since obviously I’m a dog fan!
Great little spot to hang out after a nice lunch/​dinner and/​or shopping along New England avenue!
