Shaw Park Reviews
Awesome spot to bring the whole family. The water is great for swimming when it's warm out and a fun spot to fish. Lots of little fish for the kids.nnBig field for sports, swings for the little ones and a nice jogging trail that goes across to Gambo fields and over the dam back to Shaw park.nnThe Kayak and canoe launch is great!nnAll around just a great spot with a little something for everyone.
Shaw Park has free parking, swimming, a swing set (about 4+ swings) & a big, grassy field for picnic's &/or running around and a pretty clean portapotty!! There's a small, grassy beach to put your belongings down. They also offer canoe, kayak & SUP rentals at decent prices.
I love putting in at Shaw Park. It's got a great little beach which makes getting on my SUP less messy especially with the pups. I think you can rent kayaks from the city of Gorham, but you should check their website to be sure.nnIt's a great place to swim with kids or even do a couple laps across the river and back. I don't think I've ever seen a motor boat come through. Just lots of kayaks and small fishing boats. Lots of people jump off the bridge into the water (though I'm not so daring myself!).nnAdditionally they have a wonderful little loop you can walk or run. Baseball fields and a little swing set. Portapotty is close to the river and there's a little shack with a bathroom that is sometimes open.
Great location to go in the summer. Bridge jumping is safe but keep in mind it is over 30 feet tall.
Nice little walking area and access to water. You can rent paddle boards and kayaks on the dock during the summer season. Great place for dogs!
