About "Shag" Williams Park

“Shag” Williams Park is commonly referred to as Shannon Park and houses the Shannon Scout Cabin and the new recreation center addition.  The park was named in honor of Shag Williams for his commitment to the community and to the park.  Shag was the first scout master at the park and also gave of his carpentry and architectural skills in the rebuilding of the Scout Hut through three different iterations. The new recreation center addition to the Scout Hut serves as the fourth iteration of the building. The park is located on 40 Minshew Road off of Gaines Road.
