About Shelby Skate Park

Previously known as Farmers Branch Skate Park, this park was officially renamed Shelby Skate Park on April 2, 2019, by
Resolution 2019-040 in honor of Phillip “Shelby” Hemstock. Shelby, a Farmers Branch resident, was an avid skateboarder
and a passionate advocate for the skate park. He served as a liaison between the local skating community and City staff,
helping to strengthen communication and support for the park. Later, Shelby continued his involvement by becoming a
contracted skateboard instructor at the facility.
