Town of Shelburn Purchases the Shelburn Ball Diamond and Town Park from Northeast School Corporation for $1

11/1/2023

20 Comments

 
At one time, Shelburn had two elementary schools and a high school. The West Ward Elementary School was located where the Shelburn Ball Diamond is now and the East Ward Elementary School was located where the Town Park is on Mill St. When those schools were closed and consolidated into Shelburn Elementary School in the late 50's, it was agreed upon that the properties would always be used for recreational purposes for the Town of Shelburn. Over the years it was always assumed that the Town of Shelburn owned these properties. However, earlier this Summer Clerk-Treasurer Melissa Copeland was working on a grant for improvements at the Shelburn Ball Diamond and found that wasn't the case. During her research Melissa discovered that the Town of Shelburn didn't actually own their Ball Diamond or their Town Park and that the Northeast School Corporation did. She immediately reached out to Northeast School Corporation Superintendent Dr. Mark Baker to discuss the possibility of Shelburn securing the properties. Dr. Mark Baker and the School Board agreed that Shelburn should own their own Ball Diamond and Town Park and on July 11, 2023 the Shelburn Town Council voted to purchase the Ball Diamond and Town Park property from the Northeast School Corporation for the price of $1. The real estate exchange has been finalized and for the first time ever, the Town of Shelburn now 100% owns their Ball Diamond and Town Park.  The Shelburn Park Board has worked tirelessly this Summer to secure a grant for improvements to the Shelburn Ball Diamond and is currently in the process of planning future upgrades to the Town Park as well. There will be a lot of exciting things coming for the youth of Shelburn in 2024!

Shelburn Park Board Receives Wabash Valley Community Foundation Grant

11/1/2023

The Town of Shelburn's Park Board was awarded a $12,000 grant for upgrades and repairs to the Shelburn Ball Diamond.  The updates and repairs will consist of making the entire park ADA compliant as well as installing a safety net to protect spectators and children on the playground from foul balls, a new shelter house with picnic tables, a new swing set, and more!  The previous swing set was destroyed in a storm during the Spring of 2021 and while there is still a playground there, the area at the ball diamond is the only safe and usable park area in the Town of Shelburn.
Clerk-Treasurer Melissa Copeland stated that she's focused on bringing the quality of life back to Shelburn and the Park Board is really spearheading the efforts on giving the people of Shelburn somewhere safe for kids and families to spend their time. "We have a lot of families here in our little town and new families who are moving in. We want to give everyone, of all ages, somewhere to gather together as a community. We hope that the updates to the Ball Diamond will give the town more sense of pride and will inspire the younger generation to get out and play some ball!

Picture
The Shelburn Park Board hopes to have this project completed by the end of March, in time for a "Grand Opening Celebration" at the beginning of the 2024 Spring Baseball and Softball Season. They are already working on their next  grant opportunity to make much needed upgrades to the Town Park on East Mill St as well as restoring Dawson Pond. The Shelburn Park Board consists of Danielle Schalburg, Jenny Ransford, Heather Lewis, and Melissa Copeland. The Park Board President Kenny Miller passed away earlier this year and Copeland says they plan to plant a tree at the newly updated park in his memory when the project is finished.
Presenting the check and pictured with Copeland is Wabash Valley Community Foundation Board Chair, Ally Orwing.
