Not a Good Idea
This is not a minimal impact sport, go to Waterbury and take a look at the shape of that park, it is tired, it is worn. The Leddy Park course runs up and down the park, and is only 40′ ft wide, true; but how do you control a disk, you can’t make it stay in the lane. It will go where is it mis-thrown. I have thrown these disks, they are not Frisbees that you play catch with, they will do some serious damage when they strike
something, like a person! Finally, I don’t wish to get bogged down in the details of what is classified as a sapling, but I have parts of trees that were cut down, and they are more than 3″ in diameter. Please do some basic research, don’t just listen to the officials that are in charge, I’m no reporter, but I talked, and met with an avid disk golf player so that I could try to understand if this is something that would be good for this mixed use park; I have concluded that it is not a
great idea to have an 18 hole course.
