This planning effort examined existing recreation offerings and recommended additions and changes to improve recreation opportunities. We helped cast a vision for a recreation system consisting of open space, multi-use trails, shelters, a dog park, and a splash pad–all along an interconnected greenway network anchored by the developing Shelby Rail Trail.
Public Engagement
To reflect the desires of Shelby residents in the final plan, a multi-faceted engagement strategy was implemented to collect input. An informed steering committee, social media promotion, public outreach video, project website, digital survey, and interactive neighborhood workshops all contributed to making sure the public’s voice was heard.
Site-Specific Master Plan (Depot Park)
As part of the project, a master plan for Depot Park in uptown Shelby leverages a future rail trail corridor to provide a destination park in the core of the city.
Our engineering team now assists the City in developing and implementing Depot Park.
