To: The Honorable Mayor and Board of Commissioners From: Michael Jaycocks Subject: Holbrook Park Playground
The Huntersville Parks and Recreation Commission and Parks and Recreation Staff have recommended naming the Holbrook Playground - The Scott Treon Playground. Scott who served as the department's Assistant Director for almost nine years before passing away from a brain tumor. Scott was not only a town employee, but was very active in the community through his work volunteering at his church and as a volunteer coach in numerous orginizations in Huntersville. Scott had a passion for bringing the community together for many community projects. Scott's strength and faith during his fight with cancer has left a lasting impression on the Huntersville community.
The Parks and Recreation Commission and the Parks and Recreation staff thought it would be appropriate to name the playground after Scott due to his leadership role in making this playground possible through acquiring a grant. This playground was the first community build playground in the town's park system and it was due to Scott's knowledge of installing playgrounds as well as Scott's ability to encourage members of the community to support the community building process for the playground. Scott's church was the main participant in the community build activities that took place.
