For Immediate Release
Subject: Community Update Regarding the Proposed Hawk Mazzotta Moto Camp at Anderson River Park

The City of Anderson would like to provide an update regarding the proposed Hawk Mazzotta Moto Camp recreational training facility that was being initially explored for Anderson River Park.

Following consideration of the comments and concerns shared during the May 6, 2026 public meeting, along with additional letters and feedback received from community members, the City has decided not to proceed with the proposed moto training facility at Anderson River Park.

As discussed during the public meeting, this proposal was in the very early conceptual stages. The purpose of the initial outreach was to gauge community interest, gather feedback, and better understand potential opportunities and concerns related to this type of recreational activity within our beloved park.

We sincerely appreciate the community members who took the time to attend the meeting, submit comments, and participate in the discussion. The feedback provided was thoughtful, constructive, and helpful in providing additional clarity and perspective for City staff, elected officials, and all parties involved in the discussion.

Community engagement is an important part of the City’s decision-making process, and we value the diligence and involvement shown by our residents throughout this process.

Anderson River Park remains an important community asset, and the City will continue working to ensure recreational opportunities align with the interests and priorities of the community.

Thank you again to everyone who participated and shared their input.
