Northern: Baker's Field Park ~ Years ago a proposal by another party fell through but we have the chance to do it right this time. A relocation of Holland Woods (9-Hole course) down the street to Bakersfield Park could be the the best possible option for this area to get a 18-hole course. Baker's Field Park has the space and terrain to contain a large disc golf course.

Central: Columbus County Park ~ This is the most ideal location for a possible disc golf course. The large park is capable of having a 5 star course with it's outstanding landscape. Everything you could want in terrain is there. The only downside is that the park is newer and is still undergoing construction in some areas.

Southern: East China Twp Park ~ Another great location at a mature park. Just a few years ago a new disc golf course was in the planning process but fell to the wayside without the proper guidance of experienced people. The park infastructures and amenities are already in place. This is the busiest of the three parks and concessions might be needed to accomadate all park users and their safety.

Please sign the epetition http://sccparks.epetitions.net/ to show your support for disc golf in our area. Thanks again for helping the cause. I'll be updating everyone on the process as it goes. Volunteers and/or donations are always welcome and I will inform you guys when the courses are approved.

Four Course Developments ~ Updated 1/23/2012...

Southern: East China Township Park ~ After a small presentation and a info packet, the Twp likes the disc golf course idea and will look at some of our course designs. So far so good. They also need some more detailed quotes, inventory of donated equipment and installation costs.

Central: Columbus County Park ~ Attended the quarterly CCP Park Advisory Board Meeting and found out that we will be in the Updated P & R Master Plan. We can start coming up with designs which they will look over to see what will be best for the park and it's future. Looking at designing a 9-holer near the new Lodge and will also submit two 18-hole designs for the future when the other two sections of the park have the parking lots, restrooms, etc. built.

Northern: Baker's Field Park ~ I've only been able to attend one meeting back in December but hope to have everything ready by next month's meeting. Did have a chance to walk some of the park but my son and I were thwarted off by some nasty rough patches of thorn bushes. There is quite a bit of land here and has some great potential if they could get the trails in better shape. I also found an older park design which had a disc golf course in the plans. It looked promising.

Ira Twp update ~ Haven't heard anything new but will stop by their next meeting on Monday to see if we can help.

It takes time, trust, and a whole lot of meetings but it will be worth it in the end.
