Disc Golf Proposal for Corinth

At the Corinth Parks and Recreation Commission regular session on May 18, 2010, Aaron Quisenberry will present a proposal for creating a disc golf course at community park. Since the commission session packet is not currently posted, we don't have any details on the proposal. However, at a meeting about 2 months ago I believe, the possibility of a disc golf course being installed west of the Community Park South parking lot near the maintenance building was introduced.

This session of the board will consider the plan as subsequently submitted by Quisenberry. If that plan is similar to the plan introduced a few months ago, I would expect it to meet with a favorable review. Both the council and the Parks Commission have stated in the past that Disc Golf would be a desirable amenity for the City. When the course in the North Community Park was rejected, that had more to do with the process (or actually lack of) in getting the plan going, than the plan itself.

This time around, the proper processes are being followed. And, frankly, I think the idea has great merit. It will certainly provide a recreation activity that anyone in the city can use. Today, the bulk of community park is dedicated to baseball, softball and football/soccer fields. You have to be a part of an organized league or other group to have access to these facilities. The addition of a facility that is available all the time to anyone in the city would be, in my opinion, welcome.
