Justin Scott has been named the new assistant director of McMinnville Parks and Recreation. Scott was chosen to fill the position vacated by Greg Wanamaker, who retired Oct. 31.
Scott started with Parks and Recreation as a programmer in 2005. He worked his way up to Wellness and Aquatics manager, overseeing the pool and managing the Wellness Center, a position which is now open.
Scott’s new job means he will be in charge of operations for McMinnville’s youth baseball league, and other leagues including flag football, indoor volleyball, adult and youth soccer, and basketball.
“I had already taken over a couple of leagues knowing Greg was leaving. I helped run the indoor youth soccer league. I am very comfortable with soccer. I have played soccer all my life,” said Scott. “One of the biggest challenges for me right now will be the youth baseball league. It is such a large program. I had the opportunity to oversee other leagues and am currently working with some now. But, I haven’t dealt with youth baseball that much. I am looking forward to it. I am very excited!”
Applications for the position of Wellness and Aquatics coordinator are being taken at City Hall, 101 East Main Street. Potential candidates must have a bachelor’s degree from a four-year college or university with a major in exercise science, health education, health science, health promotion or other health-related field and two years of pool supervision experience, among other requirements.
