Shadow Mountain Park

Shadow Mountain Park is a 10-acre recreational area located in Moreno Valley, California, just east of Pigeon Pass Road. The park sits at the base of a mountain, offering visitors scenic views of the surrounding landscape.

One of the park's main attractions is its large playground, which features a 100-foot-long zip line. This unique element has become popular among children and provides an exciting activity not commonly found in other local parks. The playground area also includes various slides, bridges, a rock climbing wall, a small parkour course, and multiple types of swings to accommodate children of different ages and abilities.

For sports enthusiasts, Shadow Mountain Park offers lighted softball and baseball fields. These facilities allow for extended play hours and organized sporting events. The park also features walking trails for those who prefer a more leisurely outdoor experience.

Visitors can enjoy picnic areas equipped with barbecue grills and tables, making it an ideal spot for family gatherings or community events. A gazebo provides additional seating and shelter for park-goers.

The park is open 24 hours daily, allowing for flexible use by the community. However, it's worth noting that the park can get crowded, especially on weekends and during organized sports events. Friday and Saturday are reported to be less busy, while Sunday tends to be the most crowded day, particularly around 11 AM. For those seeking a quieter experience, visiting before 4 PM on weekdays is recommended.

Parking is available in a small lot, offering 50 spaces including two designated for handicapped use. Additional street parking can be found on Lawless Road, and nearby neighborhoods provide overflow parking options when needed.
