The Shelbyville Parks and Recreation Department’s 5 year Master Plan is our community’s roadmap for enhancing and expanding recreational opportunities. It outlines our goals and strategies to improve parks, facilities, and programs, ensuring they meet the evolving needs of Shelby County Residents. So here’s what we are working on: What is a 5-year Master Plan?
Gathering Community Input: We’ve gathered insights from community members through our public survey to understand what you value most about our parks and what improvements you would like to see. Your voices have directly shaped this plan. Establishing our Vision and Goals: Our vision is to create vibrant, inclusive and sustainable recreation spaces that enhance the quality of life for all residents. The plan sets specific goals, such as increasing park accessibility, expanding programming for all ages, and preserving natural spaces.
Determining Our Community’s Benefits: By investing in our parks and recreation, we’re investing in the community’s well being. Improved parks increase property value, promote healthy lifestyles, and create opportunities for social interaction and community building. How you can get Involved: We encourage you to stay involved! Attend public meetings, provide feedback, and participate in community events. Together we can ensure that our parks continue to be a source of pride and joy for everyone.
