JOIN THE YOUNG FRIENDS OF SHELBY

Young Friends of Shelby (YFS) is a new group for park lovers aged 25-39 who want to connect, give back, and have a little fun along the way. Whether you're up for a volunteer day, a group hike, or just grabbing a drink after work, YFS is a chance to meet new people and support the place we all love—Shelby Park & Bottoms. 

What to expect:

  • Quarterly social meetups like happy hours, hikes, and casual get-togethers

  • Volunteer outings to help keep Shelby Park at its best

  • Behind-the-scenes tours and special events

  • A low-key, fun way to give back and grow your local network

What we ask:

To join in on the fun, we ask that YFS participants consider becoming a member of Friends of Shelby. Your contributions will support our efforts to make Shelby Park & Bottoms the friendliest, best loved, and most accessible park in town! 

We’re just getting started—and we’d love for you to be part of it!

Let’s keep in touch!

Events

November 11 - Coins for a Cause

On November 11, we’re taking over Up-Down Arcade Bar from 3 PM to 10 PM for a night of fun, friends, and impact!

Up-Down Nashville is donating 100% of all token sales during the event to Friends of Shelby, directly supporting our work to protect and enhance Shelby Park and Bottoms.

Young Friends of Shelby will be there hanging out, connecting with new folks, and sharing ways to get involved. This is the perfect chance to bring your friends, play your favorite arcade games, and help raise funds for a great cause.

Come support, spread the word, and help us grow our community of park lovers!
