VILLAGE PARKS & RECREATION

---

Historic Getty Park & Getty Field was deeded over to the Village by George B. Getty and Sarah J. Getty in 1908. It is located on 6th Street,  running along both sides of School Street. The park includes tennis courts, basketball courts, a ball diamond, soccer field, a playground, and picnic tables. It's popular with the youth of the community.

In 2012 Horseshoe Park was created with recreation and tournaments in mind! The Park was recently given the name of Nichols Horseshoe Park for Shelby resident Lou Nichols involvement in getting it developed. The horseshoe tournaments are held in the warmer months, Saturday from 10:30 am until teams are finished. The public is always welcome.

Mead Park is a 33-acre park bisected by a primary county road and has a baseball field and a parking area that serves both the Park and Shelby Optimist Club building. The west end of the park is adjacent to the William Field Memorial Hart-Montague Trail; Piper Creek also meanders throughout Mead Park.

Memorial Park was one of Shelby's First Parks, created in 1903. The park is located at State, Third and Maple and features picnic tables, benches, a monument, and a canon!
