Conley FROM: Sg► . �'� Kilday #880 RE: Parks .� d Recreations Areas Per our conversation the Palm Desert Target Team takes an active role in patrolling and enforcing city ordinance violations within the various park areas. The team has enforced alcohol violations when needed, and performs "walk throughs". This is done on a semi-regular basis. During the past 21 years the team has received information from Palm Desert City code enforcement on a couple of occasions reference graffitti and vandalism at the parks . At these times the team have concentrated their enforcement efforts at the respective parks . As you know, persons involved with vandalism and graffitti are extremely difficult to apprehend because it is a crime of opportunity. It is also extremely difficult to determine times of occurrence. Then the team has completed their concentrated efforts memos are given to patrol deputies for extra patrol, and the believed times of occurrence. If the team can be of any assistance don 't hesitate to contact me.

While we agree with most of the complaints, we strongly disagree with the solution that some of you have instituted. Courses have been ripped out and moved to 300+ feet holes without any con- sideration being given to the new players that have not yet learned to throw 50'. Many of these courses have shown a dramatic decline in player activity. It is hard to remember that the courses we all learned on were 4000' or less. Obviously our sport will die without a consistent infusion of new players. We therefore strongly recommend that prior to taking any direct action you con- sider the following recommendations on existing courses. A. Amateur Tee locations should not exceed an average of 250' or 4500' per 18 holes. B. If your course complies with A, leave it undisturbed. C. If you wish a pro course, design pro tees and leave the Tee signs on the amateur tees. D. New courses: do not design a course longer than 4500' without first ,. designing amateur Tee locations. When the course is installed, put Tee signs on the amateur tees - (pro's don't use or need tee signs after the 1st round). E. The 'State of the Art' courses now being designed by the DGA attempt to answer all of the problems currently under discussion with 'regular' hole placement layouts generally follow the following specifications: Amateur tees up to 4500' Pro tees up to 6000' •Tournament' hole placement (we call this championship play): Amateur tees at approximately 5500' Pro tees up to 7000' The tee signs will show all 4 combinations and will be located at the amateur tee. The holes normally will be located at the 'regular' positions and will be moved to the championship Iocations during tournaments only. Two of these courses are in the process of being installed, one is located in • St. Louis, MO and one in Mishawaka, IN.- Where practical, we are recommending 4 W✓ this design feature on all new course installations. Please discuss this "State of the Art" plan with your potential customers and PLEASE consider the future of our sport before changing your course. Several "over-water" holes have turned up in recent months. Please consider the consequences of a child who throws his new $8.00 disc in the water and drowns attempting to retrieve it. Temporary water holes for a supervised tournament are great fun, but potentially deadly on a permanent course. If you have any "over-water" holes, please re-locate your tees and save a life and our sport as well. Notes A copy of this memo is being sent to all Park Directors who have exist- ing courses. ..

Ed Headrick Disc Golf Association 4388-A Hill Road • • Lakeport , CA 95453 Dear Ed: As the designer of our 18 hole disc golf course at Madeline Bertrand County Park near Niles , Michigan, I thought you might be interested in a brief status report. We are now well into the second full year of operating our 18 hole disc golf course. I am pleased to tell you that the course has met and exceeded all our expectations of public use and acceptance. The course itself has been a tremendous drawing card. In 1986 , our first full year of operation we saw over 13 ,000 players . During the first eight months of 1987 we have seen over 11 ,000 golfers and expect to see anywhere between 15 ,000-18 ,000 golfers by year's end. Both sexes and virtually every age group are enjoying this activity. We see mom and dad with the kids , seniors and young adults . Golfers between 18 and 28 years of age are probably the most predominant. This we think is great because that is an age group so often forgotten in public parks and recreation. We have found routine maintenance of the course to be minimal . Controlling erosion on the slopes of the back nine has been the only problem area. We have not had a problem with litter and vandalism of the course equipment is non- existent. This we attribute to the golfers ' protective attitude toward "their course", Enthusiasm for the course has resulted in the formation of the St. Joseph River Wind Spirits Disc Golf Club. The Club - assists the County Parks Department with professional and amateur tournaments, instruction clinics , promotional activities , course security and some maintenance activities . • MADELINE RERTRANO COUNTY PARK • I.OVE CREEK NATURE CENTER • ROCKY GAP COUNTY PAR' Mr . Ed Headrick Disc Golf Association Page Two September 14 , 1987 Disc golf is a• relatively new sport in this part of the country and media coverage of the course and our tournaments has been excellent. This level of exposure has led to- inquiries and visits from other public recreation agencies and subsequently the birth of at least t'.o new courses. Much to our delight, disc golf has also proved to be a -relatively good income producing activity. This aspect is most important nowadays given the fierce competition for tax dollars to support public recreation services . Our decision to institute modest fees for disc golf has met with virtually no opposition. This level of acceptance we = attribute to the fact that we developed and now maintain a first class course complete with 6' x 12 ' brushed concrete tee-off pads, double chain pole holes, complete course signage and other amenities .

ROCK ISLAND DISTRICT. CORPS OF ENGINEERS CORALVILLE LAKE PARK MANAGER REPLY TO R.R. a-SOX SOK Arr[NTteN eh IOWA CITY. IOWA $2240 27 June 1985 Mr. Ed Hendrick X Disc Golf Association 4388A Hill Road • Lakeport, CA 95453 Dear Ed: I am writing to you to inform you of the status of our nine hole frisbee golf course in our Turkey Creek Recreation Area. The course, which was constructed in 1983, still remains very popular with the public. Our clientele remains primarily the 15 to 30 year old although persons 5 to 45 years of age have used the course. Today, approximately 150 kids, 6 to 9 years old, played the course in conjunction with the Iowa City Summer Youth Recreation Program. Despite the relatively young clientele, vandalism is scarcely a problem on the course. Littering has been a minor problem that was solved with the placement of garbage cans at every other tee area. All of the equipment including the basket goals, signs, etc. has withstood the test of time quite well. The equipment looks every bit as good as it did the day we installed it. We really could not be more pleased with our frisbee golf course at Coralville Lake. It is extremely popular with our park users and it requires relatively little maintenance. Feel free to give my name and phone number, (319)354-4467, to anyone who wishes to talk with someone who has purchased a disc golf package from your company. Sincerely, R/P--e-04 David A.

The City of Santa Cruz has been involved in a very successful partnership with the DeLaveaga Disc Golf Club. This arrangement came into existence several years ago and has benefitted both the Disc Golf players and the City of Santa Cruz. The area selected for the Disc Golf Course is located in a remote portion of a large regional park facility. For years, the department had experienced problems at this site related to the remoteness of the site and associated behavioral problems. Vandalism was especially bad and the department had not been able to adequately address the problems. • When the department was contacted by the Disc Golf Club with a proposal to develop a course on this location, two very important elements of the proposal immediately caught my eye. The first was a promise to regularly clean the area of trash and debris. The second was a commitment to monitor the site and serve as an extension of the department's ranger service by reporting illegal activities. In reviewing the past years of operation, I can tell you the DeLaveaga Disc Golf Course has been very successful. The club continues to provide regular trash removal at the site and has completed numerous improvement projects at the site. They have been a good neighbor and do provide a valuable recreation resource to the community.

Redmond, Washington 98052 Dear Ms Miller: The Hamilton County Park District had the privilege of hosting this year's World Professional Disc Golf tournament. Participants came from all across America, as well as many foreign countries, including Japan, Australia and Denmark, to name a few. I am quite pleased to report that the World Champion Seniors Grand Master for 1988 is Ralph Williamson from the Seattle area. During the championship round, I happened upon Ed Headrick, the inventor • of the sport and Founder of the P.D.G.A. (Professional Disc Golf Association). During our conversation, Mr. Headrick mentioned that the City of Seattle was considering a Disc Golf Course at an upcoming public meeting. He also indicated ( that the Seattle Parks had encountered some bad experiences with some frisbee throwers. Mr. Headrick indicated that you might appreciate hearing about our program and experience over the past ten years. The Hamilton County Park District is a regional metropolitan park system in Cincinnati/Southwestern Ohio. We have sixteen parks and 10,000 acres in a highly urbanized and densely populated area. Although we are primarily a conservation agency with at least 80% of all parkland in a natural or scientifically managed state, we do provide many recreational activities for our citizens. We rely on tax revenue for only 25% of our budget. The rest is earned through golf courses, snack bars, camping, fishing, boating and other revenue sources. During the mid-1970's we experienced tremendous growth and as well as visitation. The attendance was so overwhelming that we were forced to limit the crowds in several parks. One age group gave us particular problems due to their numbers, energy and lack of specialized activity for them. Since they "did not have anything" to do, they cruised the park endlessly, tieing up traffic, drinking beer, hassling visitors and making our parks less than desirable. Once they were out of their cars, they continued to bother people who were picnicking and enjoying the parks. One activity that seemed to keep them occupied, but caused concern, involved frisbees. They played catch in the middle of concerts, threw them over picnic tables and hit senior citizens and families picnicking or walking in the area. One of our Park. Commissioners had either seen or heard about a frisbee golf course somewhere on the West Coast and suggested that we investigate it. After stifling our amusement, we did contact the one course that we could find. Following a brief review, Scant o'Park Commissicrers mammon Co..rty Parr.D!str•ct NOLA►,V. CARSON PAUL W Cr+a'STENSEN JR JA:LES A D GEiE-+ Drectcr JON BRAD; Page 2 September 13, 1988 Ms Holly Miller (Seattle City Parks) we put in our first course and it was an immediate success. It had to be enlarged after the first year and improved to meet the demand. Aside from the immediate popularity, we found it had a remarkable result on the age group who gave us so many problems. They had a focus for their energy and they channelled it an to the frisbee golf course. They left their cars, they organized teams and tournaments, they stopped their undesirable behaviour and became welcome park users. We were so pleased with these results. that we have since built three more courses - all with the same positive reaction. Within weeks, we found that young families began playing as well. The people using the courses tend to feel very strongly about them and keep litter picked up and keep us informed of any problems. For the amount of land used, the low cost to develop, all the usage, the healthful exercise and benefits they bring, our frisbee/disc golf courses are among our most popular and cost-effective recreational activities. Since our first courses, a number of other courses have been developed in our area. All with much the same results. When the various clubs and support groups talked to us about the possiblity of hosting the World Championship, we agreed without hesitation. - The Park District expended several thousand dollars-to lengthen holes and prepa*e for the tournament and provided the necessary staff and equipment support. ;,, For the championship round, we closed our premier "ball" golf course, Theaineyard, recently recognized as one of the three best new golf courses by Goig, Digest Magazine, and set up a temporary disc golf course on the front nine. This afforded the disc golfers a lovely and challenging setting, but it also demonstrated our commitment to this popular sport. The participants and ( spectators demonstrated remarkable respect for the course and stayed clear of our greens and tees. In fact, they were so concerned that they commanded one individual to get off one of the greens. The "intruder" turned out to be our head greenkeeper. Our food service counter people also remarked on the disc golfers' courtesy and patience in the dining room and indicated it was a pleasure to serve them. As you might surmise, the Hamilton County Park District has been extremely pleased with our disc golf courses and our tens of thousands of participants. We believe it is a most compatible and productive outdoor: recreational activity for a diverse user group. Based on our ten years of experience with four courses, we have no hesitation in rec000iending the sport of disc golf. If you would like additional information, please"do not_,hestitate in contacting me or, our Recreation Director Jim Breitenbach at {513) 521-PARR, Monday through Friday -- 8:O0 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Very truly, ' .

Two disc golf courses have been in- stalled in our parks. The first one was put in eleven years ago in one of our larger parks (over 1, 000 acres) . The other one was just recently installed a year ago in a mid-size park (52 acres) .: From the beginning of disc golf in Dayton, the City has worked closely with local participants and promoters of the sport in the maintenance and upkeep of the courses and in conducting local, state and this year, world tournaments. This cooperative effort has worked well and the shared responsibilities have insured that the courses stay in good condition. We brought the world championships to Dayton in 1991 because of the widespread interest in disc golf and the fact that several top ranked players in the sport are from this area. Having people in town from all over the country and several foreign countries was a good experience for us. The local disc golf en- thusiasts organized and conducted the event, while the Division of Recreation and Parks provided several major types of support services: tee shirts, trophies, programs, and the use of a regular golf course for the finals. The only concern that has arisen from using our parks for disc golf is that some nearby residents to the course feel that some of the baskets axe too close in proximity to their homes. These same residents agree that disc golf has increased the use of the park and even decreased vandalism because of the visibility of players who are Constantly on the course. we learned that careful attention to the design of the course, an awareness that park attendance would increase and good communica- tion with the affected neighborhood canall go a long way in preventing concerns frost arising when installing a disc golf course. 2013 West Third Street,Room 220.Dayton.Ohio 46417 / 11 (513)263.6400 Now- • Overall, we are pleased that disc golf is a growing sport here in Dayton.

Mr. Williamson played on our course at the World Disc Golf Championship. We were approached several years ago about installing a course by a small group of people claiming how much it would be used etc. Since the equipment costs for such an apparent small group didn 't seem justified we told them to come to us with an organized group and we would consider installing the course. The proposal died. Recently an organized group did approach us about installing a course. Jointly we worked together, physically and financially, and installed the 18 hole course around the perimeter of one of our parks. The park is 90 acres and the course winds around about 60 acres of it. I must admit I am amazed at the steady play the course receives. In the afternoon and evenings a steady stream of adults are on the course. We ran the course through some areas that are less visible and now I have those areas being used for a good purpose. The local youth use the course and we have started renting and selling frisbees in our recreation center. My experience has shown the courses to be a benefit and brings responsible people into the park. If you have any questions please call me. Sincerely , ,,,,,,e_alk diratz Frank E.

The City of Round Rock installed its first 18 hole course about six months ago. Our purpose was two-fold: to provide an additional recreational activity for our community and to encourage tournaments which would generate tourism dollars. So far we have been successful in both areas. The beauty of this sport is that is does not require acreage set aside for exclusive use. Our disc golf course meanders through an area of approximately 30 acres which also has picnicking facilities, playground, lake, fishing docks and portions of the hike and bikd trail system. Our site selection was based on the diversity of the terrain as well as the close proximity to the other facilities for maintenance purposes. This area was already programmed for a 7-14 day mowing schedule, therefore, we did not increase our mowing workload. The basket assemblies are made of galvanized steel which also means no to low maintenance once the course is installed. bl yore RobinsonWe know that the competitive players are hippy with the Mayor Protest course, but more importantly, our citizens are becoming Charles Culpepper "hooked" on the sport. This is a lifetime sport wh i ch is Council Members fun to play no matter what your skill level . The minimal Richert Maks tman Tixh l?otw�an expense associated with the sport has made it very Pete Oorrea attractive to our citizens. A green fee- is not charged, Sort Palmer so the only cost to the recreational user is the discs. Jimmy Joseph City Manager Robert L Bennett, Jr. City Attorney Stephan L.

After reading write myself. As you may know we recently purchased a new 9 hole kit which will complete our 18 hole course at Brandywine Creek State Park. Thanks ( to a cooperative effort by my park staff and volunteer disc golfers from Delaware we have installed and made improvements to all 18 holes. The Delaware disc golfers have saved the state labor costs by donating their services. Hopefully the funds saved may be able to be put to an additional 9 holes at another park. I believe working with these men has been good for all of us. We have a better understanding of each other. we have made new friendships and working relationships. The fellows that worked on the course now • have a course that they can really call their own. Since we installed the original 9 holes in 1980 we have noticedaen big change in the character of the park. The disc golfnclf ourses parking i ents. our young visitors something to do besides hanging We have also experienced a drop in vandalism which I attribute to the course. This past year we have had an increase in the has salemush of discs and since the full 18 has been in. the use of the has sales. All in all the disc golf course has had a most desirable impact on the park and its use.

I informed Mike that we had installed our first nine holes in 1978 and subsequently the second nine through a civic club donation. Needless to say, we have been very pleased with the results of our disc golf facilities. At the time of Ed Headrick' s on site designing of our course, ha forecasted as to what our experience would be. Bd was absolutely correct when he said that our primary users would be 19 to 30 years of age, minor littering and no vandalism. As I stated in a 1978 letter regarding our disc golf facility, there is still no question in my mind that our disc golf facility is the most significant and utilized recreational offering that our city has provided in many years. If 1 can be of further assistance in this matter, please contact my office.

Since our establishment of an 18 hole disc golf course on an 11 acre portion of Huntington Central Park at Talbert Avenue and Golden West Street our attendance in this area of the large regional-type park has sky rocketed. Mr. Prentice Taylor, master concessionaire for the park, is currently considering the potential of adding another 18 hole course and lighting it for night play. The Recreation and Parks Commission recommended this week that we consider three additional sites, Murdy Community Park, Edison Community Park and Carr Neighborhood Park for disc golf courses. So you can see, your idea has caught on and who knows how many disc golf courses may eventually be installed around the world. Sincerely, . .k4 .rnd tt.

The number of players is estimated at 2000 plus per week, when it has not been raining. We have had numerous compliments and enthusiasm relative to this new activity. Now that attendance is at its present level we have had no vandalism what so ever. The area in Balboa Park where the course is located has become much more compatible with the existing athletic activities. This has previously been an area of much concern by the large numbers of individuals who used the area to drink, carouse, and conducting other undesirable activities. Again, our appreciation for all of your help in making this course possible;and,we are looking forward to additional courses to be installed in other City Park facilities.

Smith & Associates 2111 Broadway - Suite 19 Tempe, AZ 85282 Dear Farrell: The disc golf course that has been developed in Tempe's desert Papago Park is considered by our department to be one of the more valuable recreational facilities that we have installed in our park system. As budgets become tighter and our resources shrink, facilities such as the disc golf course that require very little maintenance and can be used by relatively large numbers of citizens, will become more and more valuable to our park system. The City of Tempe does not staff the disc golf course nor do we charge for its.use. It is an open public facility and is used to a great extent by ( university age students. Its proximity to Arizona State University and easy bicycle access from the university I ma sure contribute to that use factor. We have not endeavored to develop statistics regarding the use or to compare the use of the facility to other recreational amenities. However we are considering the installation of mini courses in some of our parks and, where appropriate, another full size disc golf course. We have sincerely appreciated your efforts to correct the few problems that have arisen with the course since its inception. I believe that we have one of the first golf courses in the United States and have relatively few problems with the course itself. Should you desire more information regarding our facility, please feel free to contact me. Sinceret, TEMPE KS AND RE€ tEATION DEPARTMENT Ronald E.

The course is used everyday before school, during recess, lunch period R and after school by students as well as the community. We feel it is an excellent way for children to develop eye-hand coordination and a feeling of body rhythm as well as an excellent ( way to use up all that extra energy. You do not have to be big and strong or a good athlete to enjoy the game. We use it in many ways in our physical education program and as a reward system at recesses and lunch periods. We thought you might enjoy a few of the students' comments : "It's the • only thing I can beat Greg at" -- "I can play by myself and no one cares" -- "It is fun to do on the weekend with my parents" -- "I bring my little sister up here when I have to babysit and I don' t mind so much" -- "I 'm going to be a professional thrower and it gives me practice" . . . Again, my personal thanks for the help you have been to us and for allowing our students to enjoy this form of physical activity.

During that time, the layout of the course has been changed twice and expanded to 18 holes. The local Disc Golfers have maintained the tees (cement) and baskets, and the City's. sign shop just recently repainted all the tee signs. In my opinion, a Disc Pole Hole Golf Course is an extremely worthwhile addition to any community that has the space available. One of the benefits, which is not always considered by Park officials, is that when a course is installed it brings people to the Park for a legitimate recreational activity. This influx of purposeful visitors, tends to discourage visitors who are there for no purpose other than to hang out and quite often get into mischief. Again, I can recommend without reservation, a Disc Golf Course as a bonafide addition to a Park Department's inventory of leisure time activities.

The park is located at 1400 Mitchell Avenue in Tustin (see park #5 on the attached map) . While the Community Services Department does not provide any organized disc golf programs, the course is quite popular with local disc golf enthusiasts. For your general information, the City has recently completed an extensive renovation of the playground and picnic area at Frontier Park. These improvements have not impacted the disc golf course. Thank you for your interest in the disc golf course at Frontier Park. If possible we would be interested in receiving a copy of the disc golf literature kit you are now updating. If you have any further questions about this park, please contact me.
