Page 2 of 8 <br /> Disc Golf. <br /> Ingerson Park: <br /> The Ingerson Park area would be the easiest of the three areas to install a <br /> course. The course itself would definitely <br /> accomodate a 9-hole layout. This park was previously looked at within your <br /> Parks, Trails and Open Space Plan/Study dated <br /> back in May of 2002. I noticed some tree trimming was currently being done at <br /> the park. Some additional pruning would <br /> need to be done, but overall it would be minimal. The park has a small parking <br /> lot which is easily located off of Lexington Av. <br /> The course design would be short to medium fairways utilizing the natural <br /> landscape/slope of the park. The design would certainly <br /> work around the basketball court, children's play area and pavillon nicely. This <br /> park would accomodate a challenging recreational <br /> level 9-hole course. All skill levels could play it, but it would be designed <br /> primarily for the beginner to advanced level of player. <br /> This park also seems to have a sliding hill during the winter months. I would <br /> want to work around this as well, since Disc Golf <br /> is played year round. This would be a perfect course to play during the winter <br /> as well. So Disc Golf could be a year round activity <br /> • at Ingerson Park. <br /> Floral Park: <br /> The Floral Park area is large enough to accomodate 9,12 or 18 holes. However, <br /> more work would be involved, as some of the <br /> fairways would need to be in the wooded areas. This would involve opening <br /> up flightpaths in the fairways by removing buckthorn, <br /> dead trees, and weedy brush. The areas would still remain mostly wooded, as <br /> disc golf uses the trees as obstacles to enhance <br /> the quality of play. I didn't come across a parking lot at Floral, so excessive <br /> parking may be a problem for neighbors. Not sure? <br /> This park could certainly accomomdate a course, but would be more work to <br /> design and implement (which wouldn't be a problem). <br /> This park with careful planning would be a step up so to speak from the <br /> possibilities at Ingerson Park. You could essentially build <br /> a larger course at Floral Park. I noticed a thin space of land that stretches <br /> throughout the park which has power lines on it. <br /> Would we be able to design any holes within that space or is their an easement <br /> for the land underneath the power lines at Floral Park? <br /> • <br /> 3/14/2005 <br />
