SHELBY PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION | 1
BACKGROUND The City of Shelby Parks and Recreation Department serves to provide a variety of quality leisure services for citizens of all ages. Founded in 1948, the Department now operates 12 recreation facilities and provides over 40 programs throughout the year. In 2008, the Parks and Recreation Department developed the City of Shelby Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Master Plan to serve as a 10-year recreation development guide. Many recommendations have been successfully implemented since plan completion, including improvements to City Park and the development of Hanna Park. Shelby is the county seat and largest city in Cleveland County. As an economic, political, and social hub within the county, many of the City’s recreation facilities and programs serve both the city and greater Cleveland County population.
2 | CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
The City of Shelby is committed to continuing improvement and expansion of recreation facilities for its citizens and visitors. With this plan, Shelby casts a new vision for recreation to support and enhance quality of life, promote physical and social wellness, and encourage economic development within the City.
It is the mission of the City of Shelby Parks and Recreation Department to “provide a variety of quality leisure services in a clean, safe environment for citizens of all ages.”
SHELBY PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN
PURPOSE The 2020 Shelby on the MOVE Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan serves as a guide for park and recreation facility development and ensures grant competitiveness by adhering to planning guidelines set forth by the NC Parks and Recreation Trust Fund (PARTF). The Plan considers past planning efforts, existing recreational assets, community recreation preferences, and public input to guide recommendations for future facility enhancements and development. Plan recommendations focus on capital infrastructure development and connectivity between existing and new parks.
GOALS Recreation, Health, & Wellness Create parks and recreation infrastructure that provides recreation opportunities for all ages and enhances community wellness as well as physical and social health.
Quality of Life Enhance quality of life for current and future Shelby citizens through the provision of quality recreation services and programs and an interconnected network of public green space.
Connectivity Connect recreation facilities, open space, and other significant community assets through a network of multi-use greenway paths
Economic Development Spur economic growth by creating recreation and community assets that attract visitors to Shelby.
Grant Funding CITY RESIDENTS SHARE THEIR THOUGHTS AT HOLLY OAK PARK DURING ONE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD WORKSHOPS.
SHELBY PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN
Ensure grant competitiveness by adhering to any relevant grant funding guidelines.

This introductory chapter highlights the plan background, purpose, goals, process, and organization.
This chapter examines previous plans and provides a complete inventory of existing facilities and programming. This chapter also presents a Level of Service analysis, which compares the city’s existing recreation offerings to those of similar size jurisdictions across the country.
Chapter 3 highlights public input obtained from steering committee meetings, a recreational needs survey, neighborhood workshops, and a final public meeting. The chapter concludes with an overarching vision for future parks and recreation development in the City of Shelby.
This chapter serves as the heart of the Shelby on the MOVE Master Plan. Specific parks and recreation facility improvements are proposed that include enhancing existing facilities, investing in new facilities, and the creation of an interconnected multi-use trail system.

SHELBY PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN
IN THIS CHAPTER: • Geographic Context, Demographics, and Past Planning Efforts • Inventory of Recreation Assets • Recreation Level of Service Analysis
CHAPTER 2: DISCOVERY & ANALYSIS | 7
GEOGRAPHIC CONTEXT The City of Shelby is located in the southwestern foothills region of North Carolina, within the growing CharlotteMecklenburg statistical area. The city is situated 50 miles west of Charlotte, 40 miles north of Spartanburg, SC, and 80 miles east of Asheville (see Map 1: Shelby Geographic Context, page right).
CLEVELAND COUNTY’S RECREATION HUB
The proposed Cleveland County Rail Trail is a 10.2-mile path that would connect the City of Shelby to the Towns of Patterson Springs, Earl, and the NC-SC state line. In combination with proposed multi-use paths within the City, the Rail Trail will also offer connectivity between Shelby’s parks and recreation assets. This growing local trail network will not only serve to expand recreational opportunities in Shelby, but it will also be a component of a larger greenway network that will encourage economic development and growth in southern Cleveland County and the region.
Shelby serves as Cleveland County’s seat and largest municipality. The City maintains the largest recreation department in Cleveland County and operates several recreational facilities that have regional impact; City Park and Hanna Park are facilities that meet recreational needs for both City of Shelby residents and the broader Cleveland County population.
GROWING REGIONAL TRAIL NETWORK A growing network of planned and developed trails and greenways is supported throughout the region. The Carolina Thread Trail is a growing greenway trail system that encompasses 15 counties and over 1600 miles of planned trails. Cleveland County has completed 17 miles of 110 miles miles planned within the county. The City of Shelby’s 1.5 mile First Broad River Trail is part of this developing trail network.
8 | CHAPTER 2: DISCOVERY & ANALYSIS
THE CAROLINA THREAD TRAIL WILL SERVE AS A SIGNIFICANT REGIONAL RECREATION ASSET. WHEN COMPLETE, THE CTT WILL ENCOMPASS 260+ MILES OF TRAIL ACROSS 15 DIFFERENT COUNTIES AND 2 STATES.

PREVIOUS PLANS
This section provides a brief summary of existing plans for the city and Cleveland County that have implications for future parks, recreation, and greenway development.
CLEVELAND COUNTY RAIL TRAIL MASTER PLAN (2018)
Cleveland County, North Carolina
Rail Trail Master Plan DRAFT February 2018
The Cleveland County Rail Trail Master Plan serves as a guide for the development of a 10.2-mile paved rail trail from Sunset Cemetery in Uptown Shelby to the NC-SC state line south of the Town of Earl. The master plan identifies specific recommendations for trail alignments, street and bridge crossings, trailheads, amenities, and connector paths throughout the corridor.
A Partnership between the Towns of Earl and Patterson Springs, the City of Shelby and Cleveland County Government
CAROLINA THREAD TRAIL MASTER PLAN FOR CLEVELAND COUNTY COMMUNITIES (2010) The Carolina Thread Trail (CTT) is a planned regional network of greenways, trails, and conserved lands connecting 15 counties in the Charlotte, NC region. The 2010 CTT Master Plan for Cleveland County Communities outlines implemention of the Thread Trail within Cleveland County. The plan identifies two key CTT routes in Shelby: the First Broad River Trail and a trail connecting Moss Lake to the First Broad River. The plan also highlights other greenway connections outlined in the Shelby Pedestrian Plan.
12 | CHAPTER 2: DISCOVERY & ANALYSIS
SHELBY PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN
SHELBY COMPREHENSIVE PARKS & RECREATION MASTER PLAN (2008) The Shelby Parks and Recreation Plan provided a 10-year vision for park and recreation development for the City of Shelby. Key plan recommendations included a multi-sport soccer complex, additional baseball fields, and improvements to existing parks. Many plan recommendations have been completed since the 2008 plan was adopted, including the development of Hanna Park and recent improvements to Shelby City Park.
SHELBY COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN (2008) The Shelby Comprehensive Land Use Plan serves as a 15-20 year land use and community development guide for the City. Key recommendations include downtown and neighborhood revitalization, development of commercial and mixed-use hubs, and an expanded greenway and park system.
SHELBY COMPREHENSIVE PEDESTRIAN PLAN (2007)
Shelby Comprehensive Pedestrian Plan March 2007
SHELBY PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN
The Shelby Comprehensive Pedestrian Plan outlines recommendations for improving pedestrian infrastructure within Shelby. The plan identifies over 130 pedestrian improvement projects, organized according to ten pedestrian-oriented development zones. The plan also outlines several greenway trail projects along city sewer easements, riparian corridors, and the future Hwy 74 Bypass.
CHAPTER 2: DISCOVERY & ANALYSIS | 13
INVENTORY OF RECREATION ASSETS This section provides an inventory of local and regional recreation assets and is organized according to three sub-sections:
1. FACILITIES The City of Shelby operates 12 park and recreation facilities, 3.75 miles of trails and walking paths, and 376 acres of open space. Parks are typically classifed based on size and service area (see Map 2: Shelby Recreation Facilities, page right). However, parks with significant athletic complexs or unique facilities and programming will often attract users from a larger population. City residents also utilize a number of local and regional facilities located nearby. This section examines each facility’s size, classification, assets, and managing organization.
2. PROGRAMMING The City of Shelby offers 42 recreation programs each year that cater to a variety of age groups and activity preferences. The programming inventory examines existing programming offered by the City, organized according to program type.
3. STAFF The Shelby Parks and Recreation Department has 35 full-time equivalents on staff. The staff inventory analyzes current staffing according to national standards. 14 | CHAPTER 2: DISCOVERY & ANALYSIS

STEERING COMMITTEE MEETINGS The consultant team conducted two (2) meetings with a project steering committee comprised of a diverse group of stakeholders appointed by the Shelby City Council. The steering committee provided the consultant team and staff with initial plan direction and then provided a thoughtful critique of preliminary design concepts prior to public workshops.
MEETING #1 (NOVEMBER 12, 2019) The consultant team shared preliminary findings from the recreational needs survey, and steering committee members offered input on existing facilities and future needs at each park. The consultant team also presented an overview of the Shelby Rail Trail and ideas for key greenway and trail connections between the City’s parks.
FOCUS GROUPS & INTERVIEWS Focus group meetings were held with three (3) stakeholder groups: Shelby Parks and Recreation Department Staff; City of Shelby Department Heads; and the Shelby Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. Focus group meetings distilled the following key takeaways: • Renovation of existing aquatic facilities and addition of a splash pad should be a high priority. • Renovation and addition of picnic shelters and bathrooms is needed at all parks. • Parking should be expanded at parks with existing recreational facilities. • Sidewalk connectivity within parks and greenway connectivity between parks is a priority.
MEETING #2 (JANUARY 23, 2020) The consultant team shared results from the neighborhood workshops and presented recommendations for facility additions and renovations at five City of Shelby parks including City Park, Holly Oak, Optimist, Palmer, and the new Depot Park located along the Uptown Shelby Rail Trail. The steering committee offered broad support for the proposed recommendations.

PLASTER PARK - N4
Plaster Park is comprised of approximately 7.5 acres and was originally developed by the city in 1973 with federal grant support from the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). After nearly 50 years since its creation, today Plaster Park serves as an open green for passive play. Additional citizen engagement and planning is critical for this neighborhood park to develop facilities that best serve residents.
PLASTER PARK RECOMMENDATIONS
N 4.1 - Preserve and Maintain This park will be preserved and maintained as protected open green space for passive play.
N 4.2 - Site Specific Master Plan The City of Shelby will continue to work with neighborhood residents to develop a site specific master plan for the park that meets the community’s needs.
“Community engagement will be critical to the redevelopment of Plaster Park.” PLASTER PARK
SHELBY PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN
CHAPTER 4: RECOMMENDATIONS | 67
MULTI-USE PATHS An extensive multi-use trail system is proposed with the Shelby Rail Trail serving as a “spine” to offer connectivity between existing and planned city parks. The existing First Broad River Trail extends the spine to the north and west, and the Shelby Rail Trail Extension extends it to the south. Connector paths will connect with the “spine” and may vary from narrow natural surface trails to wide asphalt greenways depending on location and expected use. Connectivity between city parks will also result in a significant increase in connectivity between existing neighborhoods, churches, and businesses. Landowner engagement will be critical for some proposed routes.
68 | CHAPTER 4: RECOMMENDATIONS
The City of Shelby trail system will focus on the following priority multi-use paths and connections: • RT1 - Uptown Shelby Rail Trail • RT2 - Shelby Rail Trail Extension • C1- City Park to First Broad River Trail • C2 - Palmer Park to Uptown • C3 - Palmer Park to Kings Road Park • C4 - Kings Road Park to Holly Oak Park • C5 - Holly Oak Park to Rail Trail - North • C6 - Optimist Park to Rail Trail • C7 - Holly Oak Park to Rail Trail - South • C8 - First Broad River Trail to Rail Trail • FB1 - First Broad River Trail and Twin Trestle Trailhead • FB2 - First Broad River Trail Extension

MULTI-USE PATHS (CONTINUED) RT1
UPTOWN SHELBY RAIL TRAIL
The Uptown Shelby corridor is located adjacent to several city-owned assets and extends approximately 2.6 miles through the heart of Uptown Shelby (see Map 5: Uptown Shelby Rail Trail, p. 65). This section includes a summary of the four (4) recreation enhancement areas proposed along the Uptown Shelby rail trail.
Enhancement Area A At its northern terminus, the City owns an approximately ten-acre parcel and the rail trail provides a direct connection to the First Broad River Trail via an existing multi-use path that extends west along West Grover Street. Proposed rail trail enhancements for this parcel include a trailhead with kiosk, parking, restrooms, and shelter.
Enhancement Area B Moving south, before reaching the City’s urban core, the trail extends adjacent to the old Sumter Street ballpark, which is currently owned by the Cleveland County School
70 | CHAPTER 4: RECOMMENDATIONS
Board. Acquisition of this parcel by the City of Shelby is proposed to create a dog park and additional trailhead for the rail trail to include a kiosk and parking. The rail trail intersects with the City’s urban core at West Marion Street just west of City Pavilion, a large covered shelter which provides for civic programming such as music concerts and a community farmers market. Bike and pedestrian connections to Shelby City Park and Palmer Park may be explored along Marion Street to provide connectivity between these City assets.
Enhancement Area C The rail trail parallels South Morgan Street and includes the old Norfolk Southern train depot between West Graham and Gardner Streets. This two block area is comprised of approximately four (4) acres. The old rail depot property provides a significant opportunity to create Shelby Depot Park which will ultimately serve as a hub for trail users and catalyst for further downtown revitalization (see Exhibit 8: Shelby Depot Park Master Plan, page, 58).
Enhancement Area D The rail trail continues to parallel South Morgan Street until it reaches an approximately one-acre city-owned property north of the Highway 74 overpass. Proposed rail trail enhancements on this parcel include a paved pump track and additional trailhead with kiosk and parking. The Highway 74 overpass provides an opportunity to create a unique architectural feature and trail character marker that supports the rail trail brand (still to be developed). Greenway connections to Optimist and Holly Oak Parks and Shelby High School are proposed to join the rail trail just south of the Highway 74 overpass. From here, the corridor intersects and crosses Lafayette Street and continues to South Dekalb Street east of Shelby Middle School. The Shelby city limits near South Dekalb Street serve as the terminus of planning section one. Additional greenway connections are proposed to Holly Oak Park and the proposed First Broad River Trail extension and Hickory Creek Greenway south of the terminus.

Approximate Distance: 40,004 ft. (7.6 miles)
Approximate Distance: 2,945 ft. (0.6 miles)
Approximate Distance: 6,125 ft. (1.2 miles)
The Shelby Rail Trail Extension begins at the Shelby city limits and continues south to the Towns of Patterson Springs, Earl, and the NC-SC state line. The railroad corridor continues to Blacksburg, South Carolina where it connects with the proposed Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail.
This connector will consist of bike and pedestrian infrastructure on East Graham Street.
This connector will follow Hickory Creek to the west side of Holly Oak Park. Road crossings at Gidney Street, US 74, and Earl Road will present challenges to the development of this connection.
CITY PARK TO FIRST C1 BROAD RIVER TRAIL Approximate Distance: 4,452 ft. (0.8 miles) The City Park to First Broad River Trail connector will lead from the west side of City Park to the suspension bridge on the First Broad River Trail. It will also provide connectivity to the Twin Trestle Trailhead.

FB 1.1 - Suspension Bridge The 120-foot long suspension bridge destroyed during a flood in March 2020 is proposed to be replaced.
FB 1.2 - River Access Enhancements A concrete ramp or river access steps are proposed to make the river more accessible to boaters.
FB 1.3 - Fishing Pier An accessible fishing pier will allow universal access for visitors.
FB 1.4 - Restrooms Restroom facilities are proposed to serve trail and river users.

SHELBY PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN
EXHIBIT 9: FIRST BROAD RIVER TRAIL The First Broad River Trail travels approximately 1.5 miles south along the First Broad River from the Twin Trestle Trailhead on West Grover Street. The crushed stone path crosses the river via a 120-foot-long suspension bridge and highlights views of a historic wooden railroad trestle and the river. The suspension bridge was destroyed during a flood in March 2020. A priority corridor for the Carolina Thread Trail, the First Broad River Trail is proposed to continue north to Wards Creek in northern Cleveland County and south connecting with the Broad River Greenway near the SC state line.

IMPLEMENTATION MATRIX (CONTINUED) MULTI-USE PATHS RECOMMENDATIONS SUMMARY An extensive multi-use trail system with the Shelby Rail Trail serving as a “spine” will offer connectivity between existing and planned city parks. Connector paths will connect with the “spine” and may vary from narrow natural surface trails to wide asphalt greenways depending on location and expected use.
Connectivity between city parks will also result in a significant increase in connectivity between existing neighborhoods, churches, and businesses.

Skateboarding at Hope Community church for the One Love skateboarding after which we appreciate since there are no skate parks in Shelby which leaves us skateboarding near a part of town that is not so safe, since there are no safe options or locations in town that our skaters can use without being afraid of getting in trouble which is really ridiculous and they shouldn't be afraid of getting in trouble for skateboarding in town. Also if I'm being honest, skateboarding keeps a lot of our youth OUT of trouble and they deserve a safe place to skate.

We I was growing up in Way Shelby. Park had longer hours. And open on the weekend. The kids need a safe place to play basketball .l take my Grandson to Charlotte on weekend just to play basketball.they play year round basketball.

Hanna Park is good but many other areas are run down and could definitely use some improvement. Park conditions besides Hanna park (excellent) are fairly bad.

Disc Golf is a growing recreation activity that many surrounding counties and city municipalities have that Shelby and Cleveland county does not have. I would love to see a professional level disc golf course added to one of the parks to attract players throughout the surround region and inside the county.

I do not attend the pool at city park due to how hard they made it to access. My dad took me swimming years ago and was told at the door he couldnt come in unless he wore swim trunks despite fact that he was not swimming. Paying was not an issue he offered to pay entry but was still told everyone entering the pool had to have a swim suit on to enter. We left and have been swimming at dover or hunt YMCA for years since. My daughter is now 8 and i also refuse to take her to city park pool because of the ridiculous rule from when I was a child. :)

Shelby city park needs better bathrooms no changing table for infants not even a sink counter is a problem specially near the playground and having to leave the play ground to access the bathrooms has caused one to many accidents with toddlers who can't hold it long enough to get to the bathroom when they got to go they got to go

The golf course is beneficial providing the ability to let anyone be able to learn the sport. The middle school team, the summer program for children, the regulars all benefit. Look at the kids who play in college who started there. Many of these kids compete in tournaments or play on school teams. What a wonderful asset to the city!

It's getting better. Thank u for improvements!! PLEASE put a splash pad in!! For the size of our town and community we need one! Other smaller than us towns have amazing ones. Bring the free lunch program during the summer to the parks too.
10/17/2019 9:37 AM
56
Shelby City Parks need to look into how they can expand the use of Hanna Park. This is a great facility that doesn’t get used to its fullest. Shelby City Parks should explore other avenues of using these soccer fields beyond just Rec or GCCSA. There are other soccer programs around Cleveland County that could benefit in a facility like this and help Hanna Park be used to its fullest.
10/17/2019 9:23 AM

The golf course space could serve SO many more people within the City of Shelby if it was repurposed or if they would allow additional uses. If I had to guess, the pro-golf minority will be loud in this process but it only amounts to only a handful of old-timers (many of whom don't actually use the course any more). We could keep three holes at the park for anyone who still wants to play golf and still add mountain bike trails, disc golf, dog park, and other modern rec facilities that could be a game-changer for Shelby. We need to grow our population in order to thrive, and an old, dying golf course isn't going to persuade anyone to move to Shelby or persuade them not to move away.

Airsoft fields. Paintball fields. Paintball would be really really fun, but the closest place to play is in Charlotte, making it almost impossible to play. If it were closer, it would be much easier. Also trampoline parks. Like a public park that is a trampoline park. Almost like a skate park, but it is trampolines.

Disc Golf. Very important to my family. We play at least once per week, often more. Travel up to 4 hours to other courses to play multiple times per year. Cleveland County does not have a course anywhere in the county that is suitable for hosting tournament play that attracts players throughout the region.

I think the city should consider a bubble over the present park pool or installing an indoor pool. We have a Shelby Aquatics Swim Team the Sharks. Those poor kids get passed from any pool the can use. It would be good for them to have a permanent home at the park.

We feel strongly that we need an indoor pool or a bubble to go over the outdoor pool to make it more useful year round
City of Shelby Survey of Recreational Needs 11/11/2019 2:52 PM

Need more focus on outdoor activities - camping, hiking, fishing, kayaking, rafting, canoe, walking, running. Don't try to make everything so organized. Make sure you have police protection. A lot of sketchy stuff going on down at the first broad greenway.

Whole food stores, kites and plane flying space, bike lanes,different culture activities uptown or at the parks, target ,rosse's,more department stores,a community nature garden where everyone can came and plant there favorite plants that could bring our town together,more things for our teens and seniors to do because some of them don't have the right support group,

I feel like the city of Shelby could benefit from more interactions. Like restaurants uptown and downtown. Restaurants with a better variety. We have tons of places with similar menus. As well as another shopping center (other than Walmart) we don’t need three ingles. Place a Target or a different superstore/grocery store. I feel like Shelby has always lacked VARIETY. We literally have several stores and restaurants that are too similar. It makes it bland.
10/29/2019 5:07 PM

I feel that a skateboarding park would be extremely beneficial for the city of Shelby. Many of our youth do and there is actually a growing skateboarding ministry in our town. However, a lot of local youth get in trouble for skateboarding in town and not a lot of them have the resources to travel all the way to Cherryville to use the very small skateboarding park they have there.

Build a MODERN skatepark near uptown Shelby with MODERN skatepark rules: If you try to force people to wear pads and helmets who are over 18 and allowed to make their own choices they WILL NOT take any interest in skating there. Skate at your own risk. We understand the consequences and will not ‘sue’ the city as so many people seem to believe will happen upon someone getting injured. SKATEPARK

10/20/2019 9:10 AM

Rail Trail is a tremendous opportunity. There is also a gap in services/equipment for the recreational activities - for example, rentals or "check-out" of equipment to enjoy trails such as mountain or trail bikes, tubes, canoes/kayaks, etc.
10/24/2019 9:05 AM

And indoor 50 meter pool. There is less access to indoor water in Northern Cleveland county. There is also a higher demand for water during high school swim season (November-February), which is a time we obviously can’t swim outside. Fitness trails/greenways.

Promoting healthy lifestyles for all families. Way too much emphasis is put on youth sports. If we don't educate our adults to be active and life healthy lifestsyles then how can they set the example for their kids. For 99.9% of all soccer and baseball players (which is where the parks have put a significant amount of focus) end their time with this in 12th grade. These are not lifelong sports, they are fun but they don't give people the skills to be active outside of a team setting. We need to be providing facilities and education to all ages on how to be active for life.

DOG PARKS!! Even if I would have to pay a membership fee. I would pay a good sum of money to be able to take my dogs to a well maintained and large (10+ acres) dog park. With Rollover and the Mutts and Mush festival I feel like it is a missed opportunity for revenue for the city. Many people I know to would also be willing to pay for a membership fee. More nature trails. There is so much good walking in the area if it was only available and maintained for public use. I would love to see more education opportunities. Classes offered (that carry a small fee) for gardening, sewing, cooking, or any other hobbies.

Hanna Park is not being used to its fullest. There are other soccer programs or clubs around Cleveland County that would greatly benefit from this amazing park. This park could be used for leagues or tournaments. Imagine people coming to Hanna Park most Saturday’s from Gastonia, Charlotte, Asheville to play in a organized league. These people would look for gas stations, restaurants, etc.

Please consider adding a gold level disc golf course somewhere in Shelby. I am a part of a disc golf club that has to play out of county or at Gardner Webb. Shelby is lacking a quality disc golf course compared to Gaston, Mecklenburg, and Spartanburg counties, all of which have many courses.

Indoor pool facitily for multi use. Since CCC has started althletics, partner with the college to create this facility and located near or at the college. City park brings in a lot of economic impact for large swim meets twice during the summer with the number of people that bring their kids to complete. Having an indoor facility that can host high school regionals and USA Swimming invitationals in the winter would add to the number of people coming to Shelby.

Ideas: A foot and/or bike trail connecting City Park to the thread trail bridge and the First Broad River would be nice (eg: through the Royster property). An easier portage for paddlers around the City’s dam at the water plant. Fishing access/pier on the river. Bike trails thru town connecting to uptown and the future rail trail.

I think Shelby city parks or Shelby needs an indoor 50 meter by 25 yard pool that could replace the outdoor pool or convert the pool to an indoor pool. Expanding the pool and swimming opportunities would allow less well off families to have a chance to get into a primarily “rich” sport that has a way greater chance of putting them though college.

There are many people who do not drive or do not have cars in Shelby or people who just like to walk or jog/run in Shelby in general.

Taxes - would not support. Our tax dollars are not be spent on what the majority feels is important today. Reallocate dollars. The merry-go-round is a waste of money. Ride it once and you're good for life. Same with the little train. Build things people can use multiple times per week. This is what drives community support. Currently, many residents leave Shelby and go to other towns for this type of weekly recreation.

Please do not eliminate golf. The City of Shelby has plenty of reserve funds to subsidize the golf coarse just as the Royster's set forth in their land deal. If you do not agree just look at one simple thing....the cost of the picnic tables at Hannah Park!

The railtrail is a bad idea. And runs through many neighborhoods and not many people will support this, especially outside of the city limits. I will personally protest against it as will many of my neighbors. The unused line should be properly removed and the land returned to the rightful owners or to be left as undeveloped land. Let nature take it back. It's a waste of money & time. Around the city of Shelby i can understand but to the state line is ridiculous and will meet protests.

I think sidewalks should be repaired when cracks make it unsafe for walking. Lighting is very important for peoples safety.

People travel to Asheville, Blowing Rock, and Charlotte to find suitable running surfaces. It would be nice if there were some local options in Shelby.

The City of Shelby Parks and Recreation program does an excellent job of representing numerous sports and helping all socioeconomic groups. The hours are generous and the age diversity is amazing (programs for toddlers all the way to seniors!) My mother-in-law is a faithful water aerobics member and gardener, while my boys participate in a variety of sports (soccer, baseball, basketball, pickleball), and twin nieces are in gymnastics. I am active in aerobics and line dance at both City Park and Holly Oak.

Dog inclusive amenities like a dog park, every other town has one. It’s tiresome paying taxes for more playgrounds for kids I don’t have. Kids and young families are not the only ones that enjoy parks. Young adults and their dogs also enjoy being at the park.

APPENDIX IV - PUBLIC MEETING COMMENTS CITY PARK, FEB. 25, 2020 • No boulder, too dangerous for children. One slip of the feet and a head injury is the result, perhaps hip injury. • No rain protection from the shelters. Roofs are open at the top • Need more of pool area with water – at least 3’ to 4’ of water • Trim trees by the lakes • Shelby City parks needs a water feature. Pond or lake for viewing, fishing, picnic, walking path, etc. (Freedom Park Charlotte). • Restrooms on playground level. • Plenty of water sources. • Shade
• Consider a “Park Golf” course. Look at Destroyer Park Golf in Clarence, NY. It is the only ‘park golf’ course in the US. VERY popular in Japan. Uses small acreage. Hole lengths 30 to just over 100 yards. Ball about the size of a pool ball (similar consistency). Use one club – putter length with driver face, par is 3 to 5 strokes. Hole size about coffee can size. Players from youth to elderly can play. I play at the one in NY every year and always have a great time. They have a gazebo, restrooms, and you can have group events there. Would be easy to do on part of existing City Park course. If you want more info, look at them online or contact me. • I think a skate park would greatly benefit our park. As a leader of our local One Love Skate Ministry, I see first hand how many
• 18-hole disc golf course
of our local youth get shooed off by local business owners,
• Upgrade main building and gym
police, and how the risk is greater for them to get hit by cars.
• More indoor basketball courts • Having the pool year round would be special for Shelby. • Learn to swim programs for all ages • Preserve ROW as much as possible or future rail?
A skateboard facility could also give our youth a safe place to pursue this popular activity as this also keeps a lot of our youth off the streets and out of trouble. • For pool renovations consider retractable roof, pool perimeter shade structures with solar panels.
• Don’t forget the Dog Park. Many small-medium sized communities have one. The dogs and their owners will thank you.
