After nearly sixty years, the Shelburn Town Park is preparing for some exciting new upgrades. To revitalize the space, Shelburn officials secured roughly $50,000 in funding to completely redo the park.
The money comes from a combination of fundraising, ARPA Money, a REMC Operation Round Up Grant, and a generous grant from The Wabash Valley Community Foundation.

The Town of Shelburn's Park Board was recently awarded an $18,000 grant for upgrades and repairs to the Shelburn Town Park.  The updates and repairs will consist of all new playground equipment, swing set, new soccer and basketball nets, a fence, and picnic tables for families to sit and enjoy time together.  

Shelburn Clerk-Treasurer and park board member Melissa Copeland stated she's excited for the kids of Shelburn to have a dedicated space to play and spend time with their families.

​The Shelburn Park Board hopes to have all upgrades and renovations completed in time for the kids to enjoy the new park for Summer 2025.

The Town of Shelburn Indiana is looking for individuals, families, organizations and businesses to “Light the way for Christmas Magic” for the Fourth Annual Discover the Magic of Christmas in Downtown Shelburn. These super cute wooden Christmas lights are 2 feet tall and will line the streets in downtown Shelburn during the month of December. You can choose to put your family name or business name on it or use it as a way to honor or remember a loved one.
​
The cost to sponsor a light is $25 for new sponsors or $20 for repeat sponsors from 2023. All the funds raised will go directly to the Shelburn Park Board and will be used to help finance the Park Board Events and used to make improvements to the park properties.
