Haworth resident Jack Taylor talks about the fitness park he created and the upcoming challenge on Oct. 13 for the park's grand opening.

Jack Taylor, an Eagle Scout candidate and Haworth native, got the idea to build a fitness park for his community service project while training for football.

He broke ground in mid-April and installed seven pieces of fitness equipment over the summer.

"I figured there was really nothing around here where I could work out, so I decided to look into it more," said Taylor. "I found a lot of websites that sold fitness equipment and thought that it'd be a really good project if I did that."

Taylor worked with the Parks and Recreation Department to pick out an ideal location for his project.

Together, they chose a grassy area by the reservoir, located west of Maple Street and Lakeshore Drive, for the new park.

"It was just shrubs and overgrown area. It was basically just a trash zone, just a dump back there," said Taylor. "We had to go in on a Sunday morning and we borrowed my dad's friend's machine and we justpushed everything back to make [the ground] flat and just to clear everything out."

Despite being busy with football practice along with regular school studies, Taylor budgeted his schedule to fit time for his project.
