Resident pitches disc‑golf course at Christmas Hill Park; staff outlines volunteer and event plans
Summary
A resident proposed adding a low‑cost disc‑golf course at Christmas Hill Park and argued it would expand affordable programming; recreation staff also reviewed upcoming events (Bike to Wherever, Day of the Child) and solicited volunteers for table shifts and helmet fitting.
A resident urged the Parks and Recreation Commission to consider a disc‑golf course at Christmas Hill Park and described community and programming benefits that could follow.
"This golf is a lowcost, accessible activity that kids, teens, adults, and even whole families can enjoy," the speaker said, adding that with "thoughtful design, good signage, and careful planning" a course could coexist with existing park uses and spawn clinics, beginner lessons and volunteer stewardship.
Recreation staff (Adam) described a number of upcoming outreach events and volunteer needs: an Energizer station for Bike to Wherever day on Thursday, May 14 (6:30–9:30 a.m.), a Day of the Child event on May 1 (5:30 p.m.), and a public works community event on May 20 (2–6 p.m.) where volunteers may fit bicycle helmets. Staff asked commissioners whether the commission would provide volunteers to staff tables and shifts at these events.
Commissioners discussed logistics and volunteer availability; several commissioners and staff offered to cover shifts and to follow up by email to coordinate volunteers.
No formal action was taken on the disc‑golf proposal during the meeting; the resident said he planned to pursue further discussion with staff and the commission.
