North Augusta Parks, Recreation & Leisure Services

For two weeks of each year this Georgia agency enjoys the
national stage and the revenue that comes with it.

T

his past July the top high
school basketball players
in the country gathered to
showcase their skills and
compete for the Nike Elite
Youth Basketball League Championship.
In addition to Nike, ESPN and the biggest
names in college basketball coaching
were on hand as well. Mike Krzyzweski,
Roy Williams, Tom Izzo, and others lined
the courts to evaluate the next generation of future collegiate and NBA stars.
And it all took place in an activity center run by a local parks and recreation

agency in North Augusta, South Carolina.
The Nike Peach Jam
is an annual event that has been held at
the Riverview Park Activities Center for
the last 15 years. One week of every year,
the 94,000-square-foot center is considered the college basketball capital of the
world. When the center opened in August
1993, there were no plans to host such
a major event. " We just needed more
courts for our growing youth basketball
programs, " says Rick Meyer, superintendent of North Augusta Parks, Recreation,

www . N R P A . O R G

and Leisure Services. In addition to four
full indoor basketball courts, the facility
also contains an indoor track overlooking
the Savannah River, weight and fitness
areas, racquetball courts, classrooms,
and meeting rooms.
Of course, finding the money to construct such a facility was not an easy task.
Bob Brooks, director of North Augusta
Parks, Recreation, and Leisure Services
led efforts to bring together city council
members, community citizens, and private bond companies to secure the nearly $5 million needed to build the facility.
