Disc Golf Course Proposal Community Park

Description • The City of Huber Heights Parks and Recreation Board is proposing the installation of a 9 -hole disc golf course in Community Park. Total cost of the project is estimated at just over $9, 000. • The installation of a disc golf course would be a statement of committed development of recreational activities in the southern part of town, in light of the new developments taking place in the north. Having a course in Huber Heights of this style will also allow for tournaments to be held that may further promote the ideals of making the Heights a destination for families.

What is Disc Golf? • Played much like traditional golf. • Throw discs into a supported metal basket. • The goal is to complete the course in the fewest number of shots. • Anyone can play and the cost for equipment (discs) is minimal.

Construction Planned for Community Park • 9 -hole course would include the construction of tees and installation of signs and baskets. • No plants or trees would need to be removed. • Each hole would have one tee (concrete). • Signage for navigation around the course. • Future maintenance is fairly minimal-grass cutting and trash collection.

Course Layout

Community Benefits & Support • Recreation-meets the recreational needs of young and old. • Possible tournaments. • Safety-would increase foot traffic at the park. • Conservation-green space for recreational purposes. • The Dayton Disc Golf Association has reviewed the proposal and expressed their support.
