Shelby Park and Bottoms' trails are one of the most well-loved features of the park, but the maps and signs guiding visitors throughout the park need an upgrade.

lead the WAY

Support vital wayfinding tools for all park visitors

By improving navigation tools and information availability, we're removing barriers that might prevent community members from fully enjoying all that Shelby Park and Bottoms offers.

Better signage and information mean more confident exploration, a deeper connection with nature, and a more inclusive park experience for everyone.

When you donate through June 26, your contribution will help:

Install trailheads and map kiosks to provide clear entry points and essential information about park routes.
Add directional signs along the trails in Shelby Bottoms, making it easier for visitors to find their way.
Place informational QR codes throughout the park to offer real-time updates, educational content, and interactive experiences.

Join us in making this vision a reality! Stay tuned for updates and ways to get involved.
