Parks
The Town of Shelby has developed 13 small parks to retain green space and preserve areas where children can play safely, people can picnic or just relax and enjoy a nice day.
Our newest park, Nelson Park, has a gazebo and flowers. It is located
at the intersection of Hagen Road & Pammel Creek Road.
In addition, the town has two larger parks. Mormon Coulee Park is located just off of Hwy 14/61 on Mormon Creek and has 4 shelters that are available for public use. The Enclosed Shelter, Open Shelter #1 and the Lion's Shelter can be accessed via Bloomer Mill Road. Open Shelter #2 is accessed via Park Drive. The Enclosed Shelter and Open Shelter #2 can be reserved for gatherings May 1st-Oct 1st. Reservations are taken after the 1st of January. Payment in full and a signed contract are due within 7 days of making the reservation. Shelter #1 & the Lion's Shelter are available on a first come-first served basis.
Park Shelter Fee Schedule: Lion's Shelter...…no fee Open Shelter #1…no fee Open Shelter #2…$25 Enclosed Shelter 1-50 people…$50, 51-100 people…$70, 100+ people…$80 
Pammel Creek Park is a work in progress. Land was purchased by the town in 2001 and a park plan developed with the assistance of local residents. Construction of a paved bike/walkway and two ball diamonds began in the fall of 2002
and landscaping, playground equipment and trees have been added. A park shelter, restrooms,
additional playground equipment, bushes and flowers
are planned in the future.
Town of Shelby parks close at 10 PM. No camping or overnight stays are allowed. Camping is permitted at Goose Island Park, located south of La Crosse on Hwy 35.
Goose Island Park is located in the Town of Shelby, but is owned and managed by the County of La Crosse. For reservations call 608-788-7018.
Recreation
Shelby Youth Ball is an all-volunteer summer program for area youth ages 9-14. Participation is not restricted to Shelby residents and over
close to 500 boys and girls
are registered to play ball in 2008. The Town of Shelby maintains the 3 Hillview ball fields, one in Mormon Coulee Park, two at State Road School
and two new ones in Pammel Creek Park.
A modern concession stand, restrooms and sheltered picnic area are located at the Hillview site, thanks to the generous contributions of individuals and businesses, a grant from the Corinne Zielke Foundation and gallons of volunteer sweat.
