RENOVATE N.H. Scott Park Pool formerly Mark Trail Park Pool

N.H. Scott Park formerly Mark Trail Park swimming pool has been closed for more than 15 years. The pool is located, 2230 Tilson Road, Decatur, Georgia, South DeKalb County in Commission District 3 and 6. The pool closed because it needed major repairs. At the time of closing, it was one of the largest swimming pools in DeKalb County. Instead of maintaining the swimming pool, DeKalb County neglected needed maintenance and repairs. The pool became abandoned. For the past fifteen years, the community has been given false promises about the renovation of a state-of-the-art pool with a splash pad and bath house. Instead, the community has had to be faced with a rusty graffiti abandoned pool for over a decade and many false promises.

• In 2018, DeKalb County proposed to amend the 2014-2018 Consolidated Plan & 2018 Annual Action Plan to include N.H. Scott Park Pool and Bath House Design Project.
• In 2018, DeKalb County approved $2.5 million using SPLOST Funds for the pool renovations.
• March 10, 2020, the Board of Commissioners approved the Master Plan.
• The pool was projected to be completed by Summer 2021.

As of February 1, 2023, the pool is still abandoned with no construction being done. If you agree this is unacceptable because now, the taxpayers will be forced to endure higher cost of this project the longer it is delayed, please sign this petition.
