Park activities
pedal the park
Take a ride in the park with friends of Shelby and bike fun 2nd and 4th Monday of every month.
Join us for a free, social bike ride. Twice a month, we'll cruise along the Shelby Bottoms Greenway starting from the Shelby Bottoms Nature Center Trailhead for a casual, no-drop ride, approximately 1 hour round-trip.
This ride supports new and returning bicycle riders of all abilities (ages 10+) who want to learn more about bicycle riding in a no-pressure, encouraging environment. We will learn more about the hows and whys of greenway riding and basic bicycle maintenance.
walking club
Come walk with us! Shelby Walking Club is a free, social walking group where everyone is welcome! We meet every Friday morning at 9am. Exercise and make friends while enjoying time in nature.
We start and finish at the Mission Shelter. Walk the 1 mile Lake Loop or as far as you like. It’s easy to shorten the route or add more distance.
Art in the Park
Join us for a free art class inspired by the beauty of Shelby Park. Taught by our good friends Little Art House Foundation, each class explores a new medium and skill (take your art home with you every week).
Classes are capped at 12 participants, so register ahead to guarantee your spot. Art in the Park is an adults-only class.
This program is a partnership between Friends of Shelby, the Shelby Community Center, and Little Art House Foundation.
