About the Venue

Showell Park in the Berlin area received a major playground update in 2025, and county materials now confirm a 6,600-square-foot play space with unitary surfacing and inclusive components. The two adjoining sections are designed for ages 2 to 5 and 5 to 12, making it especially useful for mixed-age families. With courts, a walking trail, pavilion, grills, picnic tables, and public parking, this works well as both a playground stop and a longer community park outing.
