The Bettis Family Sports Complex

It is with great appreciation that Shawnee County Parks and Recreation Foundation and the Board of County Commissioners dedicate the Bettis Family Sports Complex in memory of George Bettis, in honor of Terry Bettis and the entire Bettis family who have participated and contributed to the Bettis Family legacy at Lake Shawnee.

Welcome to the Shawnee County Parks and Recreation Foundation Website

This is a start of something big and wonderful. The SCPR Foundation was initially created by County Commissioners under the Strategic Fundraising Plan and now includes a Board of Directors and volunteer staff that wish to see Shawnee County parklands and facilities preserved and remain first class for generations to come. The SCPR Foundation also serves to recognize and honor our benefactors by establishing a memoriam in their name that becomes permanently and prominently displayed within the parks and facilities with their stories and biographies written on this website.

The Strategic Fundraising Plan utilizes tax-deductible contributions, bequeaths and advertising revenues to reduce the burden of government through funding of major capital improvements, public parkland acquisition, special projects and programs.
