Youth course and center,
near the picnic area of Rose Park:
(see recent
article
in Bozeman Daily Chronicle)
One leg of our
educational
program, included creating
a center in the community
for youth to come meet. A place where they can find others who want to practice the throw and catch skills that we are teaching in the schools. One of the signatures of this community flying disc park, is the youth course (see diagram) which is the equivalent of a miniature golf course that roams around the picnic ground. Inside this is a 150 ft diameter "throw and catch area," deemed "the center." This part of Rose Park is ideal for parents to easily keep on eye on active children while enjoying Frisbees. The complete project was a $700,000+ community development to create the first professional disc golf community course in Montana with cement tee pads. Funding
for this project has been accomplished through local donations ($500,000),
and two
grants
. One ($75,000) from City of Bozeman, Parkland Improvement Fund, and
another ($38,000) from National Fish, Wildlife and Parks, Land Water Conservation
Fund.
