Parks board discusses reserving disc-golf courses and $40 reservation proposal
Summary
Board members discussed creating a reservation process for disc-golf courses, including a proposed $40 standard reservation fee, tournament logistics, and potential permitting for night events. No formal action was taken.
Board members discussed a proposal to allow groups to reserve disc-golf courses and suggested a standard reservation fee of about $40, similar to pavilion rentals.
The proposal discussed was for a standard reservation (not a special-event permit) so small groups or tournament organizers could reserve the course for a day. Board members and the park superintendent said tournaments often run all day, can use dual kickoffs or staggered starts to increase throughput, and sometimes rely on an app or course moderators to manage score reporting. The group discussed that some sites have short-term course changes when construction (for example, pond work) overlaps a hole and that donated materials, such as old artificial turf, have been used to build tee boxes.
Board members noted that some events use glow-in-the-dark discs or other lighted play, and that events requiring lighted/night play might need city permits; the transcript records staff saying any special permits would follow the standard city approval process. Several board members asked staff to consult with Greg (park staff or volunteer contact) and review how nearby cities handle disc-golf reservations and pricing. The board asked staff to draft a reservation form and process for consideration at the next meeting.
No vote or formal policy was adopted at the meeting; the discussion concluded with staff tasked to return with a proposed reservation form and pricing options.
