    "I have lived in Shelby Park for the past 7 years. The neighborhood is improving greatly and many homes are being remodeled and updated even now. The park is beautiful and a great place to take kids, walk the dog or exercise. Olmstead Parks is planting 127 new trees in the park which adds to the tranquility. Many new faces are moving in and adding to the urban feel of the neighborhood. A lot of the homes have great character. It is nice to see the improvements that are happening."
