New park in area, asking for suggestions for uses, please help =)

Hope this is the right place. There is a new park in my area (Harrisburg PA area) that is large and asking for suggestions on what to do with the newly available space. Perfect chance to suggest a new course. Please take a moment to suggest disc golf....EVEN IF YOUR OUT OF THE AREA =)

We just went through this process in the last two years. They will likely filter out non-residents (we did, but our survey was more comprehensive). We had 363 people vote for a small parcel of our park to be converted to a DGC.

Next step was the City Council. We had 60+ people show up in person on the night that they had the DGC on the agenda. 18 months later, we have a great rec course which the City P&R fully supports.

Good Luck !!!

Thanks! I am not sure if/how they are filtering. It only asked for name and email address unless they are IP filtering or something.

I voted for a disc golf course.

Anything to help out a fellow Pennsylvanian!

I did some work in Dauphin a few years ago and I definitely ended up driving further to find worthwhile courses than I wanted to. Looks like a nice isolated park that would fit well for a course.
