McAllister Park in Lacey, WA

[jeffmonty]

You can attend, it doesn't matter if you live in the area, just that you support disc golf. They (the South Sound club) put the word out asking for all that can come to please try to make it. We had guys from Bremerton that went down for the last meeting 2 weeks ago, and we've got more from Kitsap going to this next one.

Save the date for Wednesday June 5th @ Lacey city hall. This will be one more, probably the last, opportunity to speak to the Lacey park board to support McAllister Park Disc Golf. The SPSDGA will be on the agenda to present the proposal for the new 18 hole course and provide accurate information. Show your passion for the sport we love!

Anyone that was planning to attend this meeting, I've heard it's been cancelled for the time being and will be rescheduled, so don't show up on the 5th.

Did you guys get McAllister? Will you set up practice baskets soon?

[jeffmonty]

I'm hearing McAllister has been approved only for a few select tournaments a year. It looks like a permanent course won't be happening at this time.

Mother**k? I thought they told someone golfers could have it!! F**k! Is there anything we can do? I just moved to Lacey and was looking forward to playing.

Will they let us have it next year? Can we at least practice there?

It's a public park, I don't see how they could have a legit reason to stop you from practicing out there. I don't know about next year, but it sounds like the affluent dog walkers in the neighborhood next door won out, not surprising.

Here's a link to the FB group down in the south sound, they're the ones more in the know of what's going on down there.

My friend did something like that with a softball field. His group was offered a bad spot in a park so they went to the spot they wanted and started tossing the ball around. They were banned from the entire park. F**cked up his plans! Not sure this is a good idea. Pizzes me off that the parks turned it down.

I didn't see nothing on that Facebook link. Jeez

Yeah, I had to scroll down quite a ways to find the small post I saw a few days ago about the results of the meeting. That group is the place where I'm seeing all the info concerning McAllister, sparse as it may be.

I posted that I wanted to be a part of the group that goes out to McAllister to practice but no one is responding. Are they still planning to do this?

Played Evergreen last week. Amazing course!!
