Get Up! Get Active!
DID YOU KNOW? You will walk a mile and half if you play 18 holes of disc golf at Huckleberry Park? Disc golf is played much like traditional golf, except a flying disc or Frisbee is used, instead of a ball and clubs. Discs are thrown from a tee into a metal basket. The trees and terrain around the fairways provide challenging obstacles for the golfer. Disc golf provides upper and lower body conditioning, aerobic exercise and like regular golf, it is a sport enjoyed by all ages. But there are no greens fees and your tee time is whenever you decide to go! Discs are for sale at the Ramp Park but Frisbees can be used just as easily.
