Board approves moving forward on Shively Park disc-golf feasibility study
Summary
Board members supported preliminary plans to explore a low-impact disc-golf course at Shively Park, directed staff to pursue public engagement and feasibility work, and approved a motion to study the idea; staff noted early data from a short Evergreen course and volunteer/sponsorship possibilities.
Staff presented a proposal to study a low-impact disc-golf course at Shively Park, showing a map with up to 22 potential pads and designs intended to avoid tree removal and limit user conflicts. Staff said the idea could connect to Evergreen and the school parking area, and noted app-based activity at Evergreen (three holes, 34 recorded rounds, 11 miles walked and 10 hours of usage) as evidence of local interest. The presentation emphasized public engagement, sight-line design to minimize unexpected throws toward pedestrians, and outreach to nearby property owners; staff said the private neighbor contacted to date had not provided feedback.
A board member moved to pursue feasibility and public engagement; another member seconded the motion and the board voiced approval. "I made a motion to go forward with looking into the feasibility of those," the member said; staff will arrange additional outreach with the local disc-golf community, plan a public meeting and return with more detailed recommendations and a timeline for potential late-2026 work.
