Friends of Shelby Park

The LSNA general meeting on February 25 featured the Friends of Shelby Park and the Shelby Park Master Plan. Tim Netsch of Metro Parks gave a great overview of the plan and Carol Williams, President of Friends of Shelby Park and Bottoms, explained the purpose of Friends of Shelby to the group.

Friends of Shelby was formed in 2008 in preparation for the 2009 Shelby Park Master Plan commissioned by the Metro Department of Parks & Recreation. The goal was to forge relationships among the various stakeholder groups in the park, to promote the community meetings associated with the Master Plan, and to secure funding and volunteers for implementing the plan.

Friends of Shelby is in its first year and has already undertaken several initiatives to get the plan underway.
