Nicholas Sheran Park
Junes’s Playground of the Month is Nicholas Sheran Park!
Nicholas Sheran Park is located just off of McMaster Blvd. West. Surrounded by beautiful mature trees, a scenic lake, and expansive green space, this park offers something for everyone. Visitors can enjoy bird watching, disc golf, fishing, walking paths, and plenty of room for outdoor play and family adventures.
Our playground testers thought Nicholas Sheran Park would be great for picnics and fishing!
Your Picnic Pack Checklist:

PRO TIP
