The parks department is holding a meeting on Monday the 24th from 6 to 8 pm in rooms 101 and 102, at the Olympia Center on Columbia in downtown Oly.
This is an exciting development for discgolf in the south sound, which is one of the fastest growing sports in America.  There is long history with disc golf in this area begining with the opening of Stelicom Disc golf course in 1984.   Since then courses ahve opened in Lakewood, Bremerton, Seattle, Seatac, and  Auburn to name a few.  A new course is being planned for the Dupont development. OLY/LA/TW has a least 100 regular discgolfers who travel to Steli and other courses 2 to 5 times a week.   A course here would be assured of a core following quickly.  A course would provide a wonderful mixed use for one of our parcels of acerage in the city.   Dog walking, baby/ kid walking, picnics, biking and low impact hiking can all be accomplised with aplomb in the friendly and safe enviorment of a disc golf course.   The low start up and upkeep costs of a course make this a very effective way to put our limited park funds to use.  Show your support for the sport of disc golf in the Oly/LA/TW area by posting your name, address and the reason for your support to olyblog.net and show up for the meeting on Monday.  Contact the parks departmant through Terry Rogers @753-8061 with any questions about this matter.   Stay alert for more updates on discgolf in the OLY/LA/TW area.
