Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Located near Shaw University, the John Chavis Memorial Park is an excellent place to come for a day of family fun. The park is home to a charming 1923 carousel, which visitors can ride for a small fee, and there is a children's playground as well. Half a mile of the Capital Area Greenway Trail runs through the park, and there is also a walking track with sprint lanes for visitors who would like to get some exercise. Other features of the park include two tennis courts, a youth baseball field, and four picnic shelters, two of which are available for rent.
