The grounds here used to be a major amusement park back from 1889 until 1927, complete with a large wooden roller coaster, swimming pool and a small zoo. Now it's part of a revitalization project in the neighborhood. It now features a swimming pool, ball fields, skate park (Another strange choice for an inner city park?) and an excellent themed children's playground. The theme of which is zoo animals, which harkens back to the turn of the century and the zoo that once stood here.

The course has concrete teepads, DGA baskets (most of which have the red # on top) and seven holes have the old school fiberglass tee signs. Don't be misled by the distances on the signs, both # 4 and # 7 are currently about 200' shorter the listed distance. The course is totally flat but mature trees do add some challenge to most holes.

The course starts beside the baseball field. This tee pad does not have a tee sign. After that, navigation is fairly easy and instinctive. # 5 is a very short (175') ACE run. There is a Mando on # 8.

Kinda tricky finding the # 1 teepad.
Tee signs missing on # 1 and # 8.
Some baskets have numbers on top, others don't.
# 8 tee pad is right next to the on-going dice/card game.
Sketchy neighborhood, homeless guys.

This is fun little course. I have to question the wisdom of building a course here in the inner city. I don't envision disc golf replacing basketball anytime soon here in the hood. I felt perfectly secure playing this course at 11 am on a Monday morn but probably wouldn't be comfortable trying to finish my round as the sun goes down or on a busy weekend day, either.

9 Hole Course in inner city. Typical multi-use city park course. Completely flat course with nicely mowed grass. Old growth oak trees. Fairly easy to navigate. Good practice course. Short holes for beginners although some 350' holes. Can easily be knocked out in under 20 minutes.

Difficult to play during most of the day with large amounts of non disc golfers on the course recreating on the fairways. The course is new, may change as people become accustumed to the course being there. When we played several holes were unplayable due to groups in fairways. Hole 4 ran along a very busy street and could be dangerous to oncoming traffic. Hole 5, 6, and 7 play through areas that are heavily congreated with picnic tables and step like structures. Not really challenging holes. No real memorable holes.

Difficult course to review. The idea of putting a nine hole course in this neighborhood is noble, however execution is difficult. Lot of groups that gather in the park everyday. They BBQ play cards, dominoes, and socialize. Large criminal activity in the park. Work in progress lets see if it helps clean it up. This could be a good beginner course as it is near impossible to lose a disc, but several of the cons make it difficult for beginners. During our visit we got to interact with several very young neighborhood children, and we actually had a group of about 10 at one time playing with us. I didn't bring nearly enough discs for all of them to play with. All of the children were under the age of 6 and there were no parents anywhere to be found the entire time the kids were with us and we played several rounds.
