Update to Throw Colorado’s Disc Golf Course Proposal
Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Executive Summary
A disc golf course was proposed to be located on the East Plum Creek Open Space; however, the design team determined that course adjustments needed to avoid wildlife habitat areas would limit the quality of the course.
Town staff and Throw Colorado have investigated other options and determined that Rhyolite Regional Park has great potential for disc golf due to its large size and varied terrain. The property already has existing facilities to support the course, including ample off-street parking, restrooms and trails.
Over the winter months, Town staff and Throw Colorado will be working on course design and installation plans so that course construction can begin in the spring. Over time, trees and other course enhancements will be installed to add challenge to the course. Plans will be posted at this address once completed.
