The Treetop Playground is a standout feature. It's thoughtfully designed, modern, and great for a wide range of ages, with lots of interesting structures that keep kids engaged while still feeling safe and well laid out. It's clear a lot of care went into making it both fun and accessible. Another big plus is the abundance of benches throughout the park. There are plenty of spots to sit, relax, and enjoy the scenery, whether you're watching kids play, taking a break from a walk, or just soaking in the surroundings. Clean, welcoming, and consistently beautiful. Whether you're a local or visiting Clayton, Shaw Park is a great place to visit.

But- parking... Brentwood Parks And Recreation needs to align with the city to help with signage for parking. The lot is not large enough (maybe 60 spaces not positive) to have two directions. Even with it being clear to many that the natural flow was counterclockwise, a few felt the need to go against the natural flow. Then the streets around the park were full causing the streets capable of only allowing for a single lane of traffic. Even with a clear flow and literally no room for cars traveling in opposite directions... some attempted to push in, causing longer stand stills. It's like trying to go to the zoo/forest park on the weekends. But the park itself is fun!!! I do wish there was more shaded areas within the park itself. Parking needs to be fixed... there is no way an emergency vehicle could have gotten in to help if help was needed. That is a big concern.

The river and the fish jumping out of a pond are two of my favorite displays that the park puts on every year. I once even went during the summer to see what the place looked like during the offseason, and you'd never recognize it at that time of year. But I still think it's most fun during the Christmas light display.

Also, it's very open and I can see all parts of the park so even thought it's not fenced, it just feels safe. The kids love that part of it is a tree that you climb inside. Bathrooms are close so great for potty training toddlers who have to go RIGHT NOW. There are 4 picnic tables in the pavilion, 2 drinking fountains and some sunshades with benches. We had our kids' birthday party there and it went extremely well. Super affordable to rent! The only downside is one parking lot is a flat trek to the playground but a longer one and the other parking lot is fairly close but you have to walk down a big hill and so then also back up. So anyone who is more limited with ambulation or someone who fatigues very quickly may not find this playground particularly accessible. Otherwise it is a super fun and simple playground!

I'm not sure how the neighborhood would feel about me sharing this secret garden hideaway, but before you visit, please note...it's too small for a "day at the park" and there isn't a playground. It's just a small circle with beautiful landscaping, an honor system lending library, an acorn sculpture and a few seating areas.
