The Luther

T. Holt Memorial All Children's Playground is a specially designed and

constructed facility that enables children of all abilities to play and

learn together. The equipment is totally accessible to children using

wheelchairs or walkers, using ramps and rubberized ground surfacing to

ensure smooth access. The play equipment is roofed to provide shade, and

the facility is set in quiet and scenic Picnic Park, behind City Hall

and fronted by Lake Peachtree.

The playground

is named after Luther T. Holt, a Peachtree City resident and well-respected

member of the Recreation Commission. Mr. Holt passed away a year ago,

and before his death he helped spearhead the effort to make the playground

a reality. Due to his great passion for the playground effort and for

the well being of youth in the city, the City Council approved a request

from the Recreation Department to name the facility in his honor.

For information

about the playground or donations, contact the Peachtree City Recreation

Department at 770-631-2542.
