“I taught my daughter to play basketball on the Silvermont courts. Throughout her elementary and middle school years we had so much fun working on skills and playing games of 21, we would laugh and compete and come home dead tired.

A few years later, my beautiful daughter walked across those same courts in her prom dress. We were making her prom photo at the gazebo. And I thought, isn’t it funny how things change.

Silvermont has so many uses and is central to our lives in ways we may not even realize at the time. It is a treasure worth preserving.”
