Welcome to shelbycountyskatepark.com! This site changes frequently so visit
often for the latest news and pictures. We are the SkatePark Advocates, a group
of middle and high school students who volunteered to spend our winter break
researching skateparks. We checked out possible locations in Shelbyville, met with
vendors, visited other community parks, and studied ways to fund the park.

Skating is the fastest growing sport for youth in America. Four out of every ten teen
males skate. You will now find kids skating in parking lots, on the court house steps,
off loading docks, and anywhere else we can find which gives us a good ride or a
good jump!

Shelbyville needs some place safe to send us to skate. Our park will be at the Old
City Pool on Washington Street. The city owns this property. They have agreed that
we can use it for a park, and the Parks Department is going to manage the park for
us like they do Daniels Field in the same location.

This park will not be possible without your help. So please give your donation today,
whether it be your time, your resources or your pledge.

The skateboarders of Shelby County thank you!
