City of Derby News Release
Grand Re-Opening Planned for Disc Golf Course
June 17, 2008
The City of Derby is holding a grand re-opening event at the Disc Golf Course at Stone Creek Park on Saturday, June 21 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The course is located at the corner of Patriot Ave. and Woodlawn Blvd.
This fun, family event will include T-shirt and disc giveaways, free food provided by the City of Derby, guided play with an instructor, and a tour of the newly-designed course.
The Disc Golf Course currently has 11 holes, and is designed for a future expansion to 18 holes. Through the efforts of the Derby Public Works & Parks Department and the Air Capital Disc Golf Club (ACDGC), the course is being designed for tournament level play. The ACDGC provided upgraded baskets and installed them earlier this year. The Public Works & Parks Department cleared and trimmed trees and brush to provide clear fairways, and installed foot bridges and directional signage to assist players. The City will provide the long term maintenance for the park.
Future upgrades to the course include concrete tees and additional parking. Current features include a bulletin board near the first hole that displays a course map, score cards and appropriate signage for each hole.
To learn how to play, the Derby Recreation Center is holding a disc golf clinic on July 8 and 10 from 9:30 to Noon for 8-18 year olds. Participants will learn the fundamentals of the game and play practice rounds during the clinic. Call 788-3781 to register or visit www.derbyrec.com.
If you have any questions, please call the City’s Public Works & Parks Department at 788-0301.
