About Us

Shelbyville - Shelby County Parks and Recreation Board was established as a joint board of city-county government in February of 1970.  The Board consists of nine members of which four are county representatives, four are city representatives and the ninth is a joint representative.  The board oversees and operates twelve park properties consisting of over 240 acres.

The main park is Clear Creek Park which is over 130 acres and offers a wide range of activities from athletics to outdoor activities such as camping and canoeing.

The newest addition to Clear Creek Park is our five million dollar Family Activity Center.  The FAC offers indoor and outdoor swimming, fitness area and fitness classes, gym, indoor walking/running track, adult and youth sport programs, after school care, summer camps and an administrative area.

Lake Shelby is the oldest of our facilities and is connected to Clear Creek Park.  This facility offers RV and primitive camping, natural trails, canoeing, fishing and many outdoor programs.  We also offer weekend programs for our overnight camping guests.

The citizens of Shelby County are proud of their park system and believe it is one of the finest park systems in the state.  Our fees are very competitive and we offer something for everyone.  We welcome out-of-county guest and hope they will find our facilities clean and enjoyable.  Please check out the rest of this site for everything our great park system has to offer you and your family.
