Cramped Quarters - Just Too Small
Pros: - This is a nice place to introduce people to the sport.
- If you have kids and want to do a little chuckin' this is a good place to go: kids get the playground for thirty, then dad gets a round in.
- Works your short game and you get to throw "low ceiling" shots a lot.
- The course is still nice and new:
All the signs were in good shape
The pads are nice
Baskets are super nice
- Ample bathrooms, benches and waste baskets

Cons: - There's just too much going on here.
The park is too small for DG, it just is.
Why not pull these baskets and design a nice 9 hole in Thomas Mitchell Park just down the road (note: I've not been to TM Park but it can't be smaller than City Park, not possible.)?
- You will find the next tee pad dangerously close to the basket you just cleared many, many times. Again, its just cramped.
- Some of the tee pads point in strange directions in an effort to get you to play a safe line around park features, like you're going around a mando.

Other Thoughts: If you're searching for a more enjoyable, typical or fulfilling disc golf experience, drive the few extra miles to Colfax and play there instead.
If you've got less than an hour to spend on golf, or have the fam with you, this might be just what the doctor ordered.

Pros: *Good signage. The signs all pointed out where the next tee pad was located.
*Nice baskets. Brand new DGA Mach New IIs
*Course can be played in 25 min or less
*Good use of the limited amount of land available.

Cons: *5 of the holes are on one block that is also a playground and picnic area and would be pretty much unplayable if anyone else was using the park
*Teepads for 4 and 7 are goofy. They both face straight ahead while the hole is a 45 degree dogleg left. Dogleg isn't really the correct term here since there are no trees in your way. There is a tennis court and ball diamond that comes in to play on those two holes for lefties but I seriously doubt anyone will throw straight ahead off of the tees. If you do throw the way the teepads have you lined up you will be about as far away as you were to start with. Most people will just go over the sports areas, which only requires a throw of around 200'.
*Not a lot of distance, only one hole over 300'
*Park hadn't been mowed recently and had pretty long grass. A lefty roller on hole 1 would have been an option but not with the long grass. I'm sure this varies throughout the summer, maybe I just hit it at the wrong time.

Other Thoughts: This course is okay if you're in the area but not really worth a trip on its own. I live 25 minutes away and I doubt I'll drive over to play it very often.
I threw a disc on the roof of the large shelter area and there was no way to get it. I was told to check with city hall a few blocks away. They were friendly and took my info for when the parks dept gets a chance to get it down.
