Great! Recently renovated and made even better! Family fun, carousel and miniature train rides for 50 cents! Outdoor pool, basketball, tennis, golf, picnic areas. Pet friendly. Walking tracks, nature park, quiet retreats for a good book, a great park. Best of all about the little ones, super kid friendly! Huge modern outdoor playground that offers tons of safe play! Lots of shade provided by shleters for a sunburn free adventure! Large observation areas with benches for parents. All around a top shelf must go park.

This rate is not particularly for the park. Its for the Paw Patrol event that was held there last weekend. Saturday, January 25th. The reason for my compliant is due to the facebook page that was created for it. I wanted to take my son to see Paw Patrol and had a fish fry benefit for a family in need that same day, so at 930 or 10 that Saturday morning, I look on the facebook page to see what time it starts & ends. When I did it said Paw Patrol at Shelby City Park 1pm-5pm. So Im thinking at this point I have time for us to go eat that starts at 2 and get back there before 5. So when I do finally make it there it was 5 after 4. 4:05pm. I got to get in line and theres a lady standing there with a sign that says. Im the last person in line, sorry :( So, I asked her why arent they letting anyone else in & she says because we stop at 4. So at this point im getting really upset. So i told her that the facebook page said 5pm and told her i would even pull it up and show her myself, so I did & youll never believe what happened. It had been changed in the last hour and a half since the last time I double checked while eating. Someone had went in and just changed it to 1PM-4PM. Talking about one mad mama. Then they had the nerve to tell me well if you just stand her in the back of the line and wait they MIGHT let you take his picture. Why am I gonna stand here in 30/40 degree whether with a 8 month old and freeze out butts off to possibly be told were sorry we are not taking any more pictures. We stop at 4. #rantover #pissedoffmama #dontmesswithmybaby

I was pleasantly surprised during a recent visit to the park with my daughter and 4 year old granddaughter. The playground equipment, walking track, and carousel were outstanding! It made for a joyful experience and reminded me of my childhood visits to the Shelby City Park more than 40 years ago. Although I now reside in Rochester Hills, Mi, this trip to the park reminded of why I still consider Shelby the city of pleasant living, and my hometown.

No shade. Bathrooms to far from seats.The food truck there Sat. Only had one person working it, was second person in line, waited 40 mins. For hot dog plate and a cheese burger plate. Lemonade didnt taste like lemonade, not sure what was in it but was very bad. Had an oil taste to it.

Wondeful! My husband took our son and said they had re-done the whole area. We came down here while on vacation with family and we like the improvements they made. Love the shading they added and the fact that there is an area for anyone who is handicapped. I think it should be a requirement at every park.

Managements lack of ability to run the sports at this park is unbelievable. If you ask 3 people how something is handled you will get 3 different answers. There is obviously no protocol books at this place. Management deserves to be fired immediately.

Not equal to kids! My son plays basketball there and the couch Stacy McEntire is unfair to the kids. Some gets to play all game every game and as my son he has had to sit the whole game multiple games. He is all about win win win and not teaching skills. My son is 10 and had to ask me why he has to sit out and sub and some kids play every game.When the park directors were approached about this issue we were told that this is not how it is supposed to be and they would take care of this problem. Well none of the directors have a backbone they are pushovers and it’s very obvious they are not there for the kids!After we called and got nasty about this crappy couch they told us it was the couches choice! After they told us they were about teaching skills and equal play.I would never recommend this park to anyone who wants there KIDS to be treated fair by couches and park directors.We are going to the state over this issue!

I took my kids to the pool to have a good time but the weather was a conflict with their visit. Once I arrived I paid the fee to get in for me and two children. Once I made it in, few people stated they didnt have to pay to get in. I was not understanding on how did they think it was fair. Need to do better with organization when an unpredictable situation takes place.

Its a shame that the pool is so pricey. I have never been to a pool where they have swimmers break.i was going to get a pool pass but seeing how that only includes open swim it would not be worth it.Why charge seniors when they only go to put their feet in the water and be with their family.
