The Friends of Shelby Park and Bottoms, a registered 501(c)3 organization, announces its formation to support Shelby Park and Shelby Bottoms.
Friends of Shelby will begin soliciting members who seek to improve and protect the Shelby Parks today.
“Citizens from across Nashville have enjoyed Shelby Park and Shelby Bottoms for almost 100 years, and we’re pleased to work with the Metro Parks Department now to provide input on a new master plan for the park,” said Carol Williams, president of the new group.
“We are seeking all friends of Shelby Park to join us as official members of the organization. We hope to serve as a group that represents the voices of those who enjoy the park and want to protect it for future generations.”
Friends of Shelby will represent the interest of park-goers at a public meeting tonight hosted by the Parks Department at 6:30 p.m. at the East Literature Magnet High School cafeteria.
Williams encouraged all those with an interest in the park to attend and share ideas. “We are fortunate to work with the Parks Department to help them re-envision how Shelby Park and Shelby Bottoms can continue to serve this community for the next several decades,” she said.
Members of Friends of Shelby Park and Bottoms will be at tonight’s public meeting with more information about the organization.
