Freeplay at Shawnee Park

Bring your family to Shawnee Park to explore a Free Play environment! Free Play consists of a self-directed play space, where children are able to build, create and engage on their own terms.

Cardboard boxes become forts, hay bales become obstacle courses, chalk art and more. Our trained facilitators supervise the children without interfering with the play process and will happily answer all parents’ questions. We will be set up next to the playground. Hope to see you out there!

Park Steward Training

Olmsted Parks Conservancy Park Stewards serve as official ambassadors and play an integral role in helping our organization enhance, restore and protect our 17 Olmsted Parks and 6 Parkways. With duties ranging from helping to remove invasive plants in designated park areas, leading volunteer groups, or managing a booth at community events, there’s an opportunity for every interest and skillset. On average, our Park Stewards volunteer four hours monthly. Through our Park Steward training program, you’ll attend a series of virtual lectures and hikes to learn more about Park History, Horticultural Techniques, Plant Identification, and Woodlands Management, all while meeting amazing new people and getting the opportunity to exercise ownership over these greenspaces you care about.
