The City of Tucson is holding a grand opening ceremony for a new disc golf course this Saturday at the Chuck Ford Lakeside Park from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Ward 4 Councilmember Nikki Lee joined the Tucson Parks and Recreation Department with the announcement, describing it as a"full 18-basket desert course" which totals almost"0.75 miles in fairways of legal play."
Lee is also thanking the Tucson Disc Golf Association for developing the plans and constructing the course. She credits local disc golfer-owned businesses Amazing Discoveries, Bancroft and Associates, and HENES Inc. for providing the funding. "Tucson has the highest number of Professional Disc Golf Association members in the State of Arizona, but very few courses to accommodate the demand of the rapidly growing sport, resulting in overcrowding on the current courses," pointed out Public Information Officer Sierra Boyer."This sport and course offer an economical way to enjoy an activity outdoors while building and strengthening a community.
