Update on Bryan Park disc golf

The latest issue of the newsletter of the Friends of Bryan Park is loaded with information, including an update on the new disc golf course — thousands of feet of frisbee-throwing fun.

The first nine holes to a new Disc Golf Course have been installed at Bryan Park. Each hole will have two “tee-off” pads. The easier layout is played from the gold tees and covers a distance of around 3030 feet. The more difficult “Pro” tees are marked with blue blocks and are longer with less open fairways, and add up to over 3475 feet…

… The course begins next to the parking lot across from Shelter #1.

More details, including background about and rules for disc golf can be found in the newsletter, available online or at local businesses in North Richmond.

And don’t forget the Disc Golf Course Grand Opening at 7 p.m. this Tuesday, July 17, at Shelter #1. There will be free ice cream, cookies and drinks; a ribbon cutting; disc golf demonstrations; and opportunities to learn more about Bryan Park from city officials and Friends of Bryan Park members.
