Shannon Park and Community Center

We decorated an Indian Wedding Reception at the Shannon Community Center, and were vey impressed by the facility.
The parking lot is great for any event, the long bridge before the entrance and the lobby area are great additions before walking into the grand ballroom. The outdoor patio area is also a plus!
We set up about 30 tables, and it was a great fit without being over crowded. We went with a light color theme in champagnes, ivory and blush to make the room feel larger.
Outside we set up an Indian Inspired Moroccan Lounge with low seating and tables as well as some banquet tables for additional guests which was a great touch.
We did notice that several people at a nearby park or walking their dogs had access to the venue and walked right through the back patio. Also, you have to be very certain to get all items clean at the end of the night as the staff was quite strict about it. Even left over rose petals from the floor needed to be picked up.
Overall, this would be a great venue for any event!

As an event planner, I have to say this is one community center that would be a beautiful place to hold an event. Most community centers look too «municipal» for me… but this building, especially the interior of it, has pretty aesthetic touches that make it stand apart from other community centers. It has a great layout and color scheme for a wedding.

Came here for guitar lessons and alas, the city canceled the class!
Now, where’s that refund?

We attended a wedding here and thought the venue was great.
Depending on the amount of events happening at the same time, parking seemed to be limited as we had to find street parking, past a stop light, and walk through an intersection. Thank goodness my sweet hubby dropped me off at the door.
The outdoor ceremony flanked the wooden doors, with the sun shining at our back which was beautiful lighting for a 5:30 ceremony. The bridal party entered through a surprise garden entrance behind the guest seating, which was a serene way for the bride to make her way to her groom.
The reception was in their ball room, and comfortably held 200 guests at 10 top tables. With the right lighting and décor, it’s a magical space!

My fam bam love this place in the summer when it’s baking outside. There are many activities for the kids, both boys and girls. There is enough shade for our friends grandmother and the park is relatively clean.
We did have our sunglasses stolen from out car one summer but we left our windows open so it was prolly some kids. Really out fault. Just lock up and we have not had a problem.

Fun place to take the family. The park is still under construction! How long will this take to complete?

This is a beautiful community center. A lot of the city programs are taught in the community center. The park is fenced off right now. My kids did have a good time here over the summer. I wonder what the plans are for the playground area?

A beautiful park to take the dog for a walk!

Not the largest park in the area, but a very nice one. The grass here is lush green and thick. It’s not a dog park in particular, but a lot of the locals come her to walk and play fetch with their dog. There’s also a huge playground area for kids, with soft wood chips for safety.
If you’re really up for exploring, you can always check out what’s flowing in the creek or just take a stroll under the bridge. Overall, it’s just a cool park to kick it at.

Had a party here a few months ago party was wonderful, and the place was beautiful! Kids were able to go play outside and the community center was bog enough for everyone. It has a great lobby and the hall is great for 300 people. They have different table set ups to choose from depending on the type of party that you want.

You’re in Dublin, It’s HOT, you have hella kids, and you don’t have a pool. What do you do? You come here.
A waterfall, wading pool area, structure, sandbox, wall misters, grass picnic areas, and little trails to explore= a good time anytime.
I take my little ones here frequently during the summer while i read on a blanket and they play the day away. Your children will be entertained for HOURS, I tell you.
Be the good parent that you are and make a stop – or if you are not a parent, you can have crazy splash time and picnic time as well.

I’m from the NY area, and when my girlfriend (who’s from the bay area) took me to Shannon Park I was at a loss for words as to how impeccably clean and neat the area was.
The grass was freshly cut, plenty of shaded areas and it was very quiet. We layed out on a blanket with the bright blue sky above and I couldn’t think of any other place I’d rather be at that moment.
A very quaint and picturesque park to escape to and get some quiet time and possibly be creative if you’re an artist. Thumbs up on Shannon Park! I hope to revisit some time soon.

It’s beautiful here! Wouldn’t have expected it for a community center.

I live right across the street and come here often when I walk my dogs. This place is always clean and well maintained. There are plenty of different areas to have a bbq or party, buy you might just want to get here early to reserve your space since it’s first come first serve, and almost every weekend, there is at least one party in the park. There are 2 playground spaces for big kids and toddlers, along with a fountain the kids can play in, and a bathroom just a few feet away.

Shannon Park is a very nice park area. Its not the biggest around but its got a couple of play areas for the kids, a few BBQ areas spread amongst park, and plenty of shade trees to relax under on a warm summer day.
It is normally not very packed but when there is an event going on in the community center there are plenty of people around but still not feeling crammed.
There’s a little fountain for the kids to play by as well as a little creek area for «exploring». Plenty of interesting trees or structures around that lead to nice backgrounds for pictures.
Overall Shannon Park is a good relaxing hangout area to take the kids or a blanket and book.

I had my wedding here last year and it was amazing!
The place is so large, the courtyard fit 117 people for the ceremony and the inside is so nicely redone.
Looks like (can’t be sure) marble ½ walls, wood for the other ½, new carpet, amazing light fixtures, great kitchen for caterers to use. Lighting adjustments can be made, plenty of bathrooms.
Plenty of room for the full size dance floor offered, 14 72″ round tables and long row of 6 rectangular tables.
The staff was very helpful and punctual. Price was a bit steep, but worth it for so much room.

Beautiful! Great price! Had our wedding there in July and is was gorgeous! I loved the big windows, with the oak trees outside. The staff is very helpful! Had many compliments and our pictures turned out fantastic!!! =) Thank you Shannon Park for a dream come true wedding!

I attended a wedding in the Shannon Community Center, and it was lovelier than I had expected. The area in towards the side of the building is great for an outdoor wedding, and there’s even a bridge for the bridal party to cross as they’re making their way toward the front of the space. It makes for a beautiful entrance, and looks great in pictures. They also have a fountain and another shaded bridge area for pictures.
The venue itself is spacious, yet had an intimate feeling to it the way smaller venues do. I think the capacity is around 200 people. Although I’m not sure if the staff setting up and waiting on guests were affiliated with the Shannon Center, but nonetheless, they did a great job. Everything was done on time, and the staff was friendly and efficient.

The little kid structure is fine, but the big kid structure has a lot of drop offs and totally freaks me out! My son climbed through the little tunnel to go up to the drop-​off areas and I couldn’t chase after him fast enough. I about had a heart attack trying to get to him in time so he wouldn’t fall over the edge. Ok, so he probably wouldn’t have taken the leap over the edge, but you can never be too cautious with a 2 year old, can you?
If you have the type of kid who is fine staying on only one structure at a park (mine totally isn’t that way), then you’ll be fine with a small kid using just the little structure. If your kid is adventurous, watch out… the big structure I would say should be reserved for kids maybe 4 and up.

Very nice «little» kids play structure. There is also a large sandbox by the «big-​kid» play structure. There is a water feature, but it was not on yet. We’ll definitely have to check that out as the weather warms-​up. Plenty of parking and shade.
