Chairperson Branch called the August 3, 2011 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting to order at 6:35
p.m.
1I. SET AGENDA

Mr. Rob Faust. Eagle Scout Flag Pole Project
Mr. Rob Faust made an appearance to update the committee on the progress of his Eagle Scout Project to
install a flag pole in Cornerstone Park
1 of 6
Parks & Recreation Committee
Meeting Minutes 08 -03 -11
Mr. Faust informed the committee he has his volunteers and the equipment ready to start the flag pole
project on Saturday, August 6 but there is now a large pile of dirt from moving the driveways right in
the spot where the flagpole was to go. Mr. Faust tried to contact Mr. Palzer who is out of town on
vacation for the next two weeks. He is also concerned about the timing of the contractors test concrete
pour which was going to be utilized for the flag pole.
Chairperson Branch explained to the committee that the contractor for the trail project has to do a test
concrete pour which is then tore out and discarded when the test is completed. Mr. Palzer proposed using
the concrete for the flagpole instead, making the area slightly larger at about 10 -12' diameter surrounding
a 3' hole in the middle for the flag pole.
The committee directed Mr. Faust to contact Mr. Greg Burmeister, Project Manager, for information
about the dirt pile, the test concrete pour and when it would be advisable to schedule the installation of
the flagpole. The committee felt Mr. Faust's project may have to be delayed until September.
Chairperson Branch is not convinced that the solar lights will be satisfactory and has proposed another
solution of placing lights on the existing street lamp poles. Mr. Palzer supplied the committee with a cost
estimate from Rivard Electric for $1,449. The committee was surprised at the cost. Committee Member
Peterson questioned whether the estimate was so high because it was on one of the poles City Council
has elected to turn off to conserve costs and would like to see a breakdown of the electrical costs included
in the estimate.
Motion was made by Committee Member Pet rson, seconded by Committee Member Amundsen to
request staff research why this estimate is so high and what can be done to lower the costs. The
committee would also request soliciting two more bids. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously.
IV. CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES
July 6, 2011 Parks & Recreation Committee Meetine Minutes
Chairperson Peterson requested changing the following sentence on page 3 of 5 under Movies in the Park
to reflect Committee Member Peterson instead of Chairperson Peterson. Committee Member Peterson
suggested letting Creative Kids pick out the movie(s).
Committee Member Seeley requested the word `in' be changed to `is' in the last sentence on page 2.
Committee Member Seeley also requested replacing the question mark with a period in the following
sentence on page 5 of 5 - There was concern this might be a violation of the City's Waste Management
contract?
Committee Member Peterson requested changing the word `lens' to `lumens' on page 3 under Movies in
the Park.
Motion was made by Committee Member Peterson, seconded by Committee Member Seeley, to
approve the July 6, 2011 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes with the above
corrections. Ayes — 5, Nays — 0, Abstain —1 (Heiden). Motion carried.

Meeting Minutes 08 -03 -11
V. COMMITTEE BUSINESS
Lighting of Flaguole at Cornerstone Park
This item was discussed under appearances, but Committee Member Haiden stated he took some pictures
of a Veteran's Memorial Plaque he had seen on vacation that he thought was worded really nicely. He
will forward these to Ms. Stephan for the September agenda.
Movies in the Park — Select Movies & Equipment
Committee Member Peterson stated Creative Kids Academy is willing to select the movie(s) but,
Committee Member Peterson needs to supply them with a list of movies to choose from.
Movies in the Park are scheduled for September 10 & 17`'. Committee Member Peterson is working
with Creative Kids Academy on the movie selection. With the purchase of the PA system, the costs of
renting equipment will be less than in 2010 as some of the PA system can be used for the movies.
Motion was made by Chairperson Branch, seconded by Committee Member Peterson to
recommend City Council approve expending funds not to exceed $750 from Park Programs as
previously approved with the 2011 Budget. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously.
Committee Member Seeley said she recently attended a Movie event in Minneapolis and brought back
samples of the movie list they provide. Committee Member Seeley also stated Minneapolis Parks shows
a short video prior to the movie promoting the park system and the amenities provided by the Park Board
and thought it a good venue to possibly promote the Parks & Recreation Committee of Centerville and
the events that are offered and supported by the committee.
Consideration of Reservina/Rentin2 of Parks
This item was tabled until the September meeting.
VI. UPDATES
8K Walk/Run/Skate Volunteer Appreciation of 8K Event Volunteers
Committee Member Seeley wanted to take a moment to recognize what a successful race we had with
120 runners and 24 skaters and acknowledge it was predominantly due to the efforts of Chairperson
Branch. The committee would like to recognize and thank Chairperson Branch for all his hard work
through the year on this project. Committee Member Seeley also stated how wonderful it was to see the
whole community come together. Chairperson Branch thanked the committee for their efforts stating
every member of the Parks & Recreation Committee was involved, as well as City Staff, Planning &
Zoning Commission members and resident volunteers.
Festival of the Lakes 8K Run/Walk/Skate Review
Chairperson Branch said considering the low numbers of early registration, he was pleased with the
amount of participants with more than 'h of the numbers being same day registrations. There will be
some changes next year with the following problems noted:
3 of 6
Parks & Recreation Committee
Meeting Minutes 08 -03 -11
• A large number of people complained about the cost with on -line pre - registration charging a
$2.50 fee. There was not enough of a difference between the cost to register early and same day
registration. Chairperson Branch suggested absorbing the $2.50 online pre - registration fee and
raising the same day registration to $30, this would make a $10 difference between pre-
registration and same day registration. Committee Member Peterson suggested allowing
registrants to use pay -pal as a way to not be charged a registration fee from the on -line sites.
• There were problems with coordinating the volunteers. Some stops ran out of water and/or didn't
have cups. Radio communication did not work as well as it should have and this area needs to be
reviewed. Chairperson Branch stated next year there will be a Volunteer Coordinator, some one
who just manages volunteers and is stationed in one location.
• It was suggested the registration table be looked at for better organization and there was some
trouble on the finish line with 3 races finishing in the same place, though the children really
appeared to enjoy running through the same gates as the adults did.
• There were only 24 skaters, most of which were not Centerville people so the word did get out to
other communities, but the committee needs to consider whether they want to do the in -line race
next year and if so how to attract more skaters.
Chairperson Branch stated the races were self supporting from sponsors so all registration fees are
proceeds. He will have a break down of the costs for the committee at the September meeting. The
committee had discussed using these proceeds towards the sand volleyball court, but Chairperson Branch
would like the committee to think about using a portion towards trail signage. This will be on the next
agenda.
Music in the Park
Committee Members need to commit to an event for the remaining performances. All of the remaining
performers will be using the PA system so a Committee Member who knows how to use the equipment
will need to be present at these events.
After discussion between Vice - Chairperson Grahek, Mr. Tom Lee and Mr. Mike Jeziorski, Finance
Director, a snake cable was bought on Craig's List by Vice - Chairperson Grahek to be reimbursed by the
City from the remaining funds for the PA system.
This was one of the last pieces of equipment needed for the PA system; it is a thicker, hose -like cord
which consists of a bundle of many individual cables with patch bays at either end so that audio gear can
be connected.
Irri¢ation System at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park
Mr. Greg Burmeister reports the irrigation contractor started Monday, July 25th with system layout and
anticipates a 3 week completion.
Recycling of Aluminum Cans at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park
Parks & Recreation has been discussing an idea to set up an aluminum can collection point as a fund
raiser for the parks. The discussion raised concerns that if we do set up an aluminum collection point, are
4 ofb
Parks & Recreation Committee
Meeting Minutes 08 -03 -11
violation of any contractual agreements with Waste Management. The City Clerk researched the contract
we have with Waste Management and discussed it with our representative and it is not violating any part
of our contract. There is also potential for SCORE Funds to pay for a portion of this program.
Committee Member Petersons concerns were as follows:
The typical "can trailer" would be an unsightly and ugly addition to our park. The trailer would be
expensive and take a good deal of time to recoup the cost. Trailers are not cheap and add to that the cost
of some custom welding to build a cage and now it is likely very expensive. Committee Member
Peterson suggested the committee build or have built for us, a large wooden box to hold the cans which
could be painted and look a lot nicer than a wire frame trailer. The cost would also be significantly less
money. The suggestion is based on the assumption that Public Works could use their equipment to lift
this box full of cans onto a trailer for transfer to the recycler.
Committee Member Amundsen is going to do some research on whether National Recycling Inc. supplies
the trailer for these types of fund raisers and report back to the committee.
SiEnage for Trails
This item will remain on the agenda while the committee continues to do research. Committee Member
Seeley reported Anoka County signs have a graffiti repellant of some sort and she will check with the
company to see what it is they use.
Concession Stand at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park
There was surplus inventory from the concession stand which will be donated to the Parks & Recreation
Committee for their use. The supplies are mostly soda and water which Chairperson Branch felt could be
used for the 8K Run or Music in the Park.
Financial reporting from Mr. Mike Jeziorski, Finance Director regarding the Concession Stand was
included in the packet for the committee's review. In its first year the concession stand was really close
to breaking even.
Trail Proiect
Mr. Greg Burmeister, Trail Project Manager reports: Veit has again started work on the trail with the
clean -up following the state shut dawn. They are working to complete the storm sewer construction on
CASH 54 and adjacent areas; also they have started on construction of the retaining walls. We have our
first weekly meeting Tuesday, July 27th and I should have a better idea of schedules.
Skate Park Usne /Security Cameras
Mr. Paul Palzer, Public Works Director had asked the committee to consider the following:
Just an update and question for Parks & Recreation. We have noticed about an 80% drop in use of the
skate park during the day since we installed the surveillance cameras at the park. Has anyone else
noticed less activity there during the evening hours?
5 of
Parks & Recreation Committee
Meeting Minutes 08 -03 -11
Vice - Chairperson Grahek who is often at the park at night stated he has noticed no difference in the usage
of the skate park. The other committee members are not at the park often enough to note a difference.
Future Eagle Scout Projects
Chairperson Branch contacted Ms. Mary Capra, due to her involvement in past Eagle Scout Projects and
her affiliation with the Scouts, with the following list of potential Eagle Scout Projects:
1) Park and trail signs similar to those used by the County. We have a couple of proposed sign designs
that keep the budget reasonable. Still this may exceed the funds the Scout has available. If that is the
case, Chairperson Branch felt the committee could find a way to share the cost between the Scout and the
City.
2) For Trailside Park (where the Bald Eagle Water Ski Show performs) all we really want there is one or
two benches that can be accessed from the existing county trail. Because of the hill this could be a little
complex and the two benches could become two projects
3) We need an irrigation system in Cornerstone Park. The Public Works Director says if a Scout puts the
system in place he will connect it to a water source. The value of this project is to protect the value of the
landscaping that will be going into that new park without placing an undue burden on the City staff.
4) The committee does not have a specific plan, but we need to place some form of historic marker in
our parks that acknowledges the history of the Native Americans and the early settlers in our town.
VII. ADJOURNMENT
Motion was made by Committee Member Peterson, seconded by Vice - Chairperson Grahek, to
adjourn the August 3, 2011 Parks & Recreation Committee meeting at 8:20 p.m. All in favor.
Motion carried unanimously.

SUBJECT: Eagle Scout Project, Flagpole Cornerstone Park
Mr. Rob Faust has scheduled Saturday September 24th as the date to set the ground sleeve and asked if there
were any conflicts with that date.
Per Mr. Greg Burmeister, Project Manager:
I talked with Rob and Mrs. Faust; they have a date scheduled for September. The concrete around the
flagpole is already poured and waiting.
Regarding the estimate the committee received for lighting of the flagpole from Rivard Electric that was
$1,449, Chairperson branch has spoken with both Mr. Palzer and Mr. Larson and will update the committee.
Mr. Palzer did report:
I believe the single light at City Hall was about $850, 16 years ago, and this is requiring 2 lights due to the
alternating of the street lights, so it is in the range, but we may be able to save some money with a different
system.

FROM: Kim Stephan
DATE: August 31, 2011
SUBJECT: Scheduling of Fete des Lacs 2012
Chairperson Branch emailed that the committee needs to make a decision regarding 2012 Fete de Lacs dates.
The Minnesota Distant Running Association, who is our best source of free advertising, is pushing for 2012
dates. MDRA publishes an annual calendar that is widely distributed to Minnesota runners. They have a
call out for 2012 events. It is important than we get listed on that calendar. Per Chairperson Branch, the
logical date for 2012 Fete de Lacs would be July 27 -29 with the parade and the run on Saturday July 28` but
there has been some discussion from Ms. Mary Capra, Parade Coordinator, Mr. Bob Cordell, Ham Radio
Club and Mr. Greg Keiselhorst, Centerville Lions, regarding the scheduling of events. Discussion follows:
Email correspondence from Ms. Capra:
After speaking with Jeff Paar and Bob Cordell we feel the race needs to be at a minimum a full 24 hours
following the night of the fireworks. It is extremely difficult for the volunteers who assist with the fireworks
(Anoka Radio Club) which in some years requires them to remain at the site for hours following the shoots to
be up so very early the next day (5:30 a.m.) for the skate and run/walk. Then if the race /walkers run long
(which happened this year) they run late for the parade briefing/lineup. It is asking too much for them to
perform a volunteer duty under those conditions.
If the race was moved to Sunday rather than Saturday it would work much better for those volunteers
assisting with both events.
Email correspondence from Chairperson Branch:
Well that is an option. We could move the races to Sunday morning. With the new trail extensions, I intend
to move the registration and the finish area to Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park so we should not impact St.
Genevieve church goers.
A question for Centerville Lion Todd Steffen: That would put the kids run at 09:00 on Sunday morning.
Can you work with that time? This year we delayed the start of the first softball game on Saturday morning
to about 9:15. That worked well for the runners. Did it work ok for your guys?
I see 4 options:
1) Stay with the same schedule as used in 2011. (My original proposal)
2) Move the races to Sunday morning (Mary Capra's proposal)
3) Move the fireworks to Saturday night (not Friday night). Lions, how does that impact your Street Dance?
Will there be a 2012 Street Dance?
4) Move the three races away from Fete de Lacs, maybe the last week -end of August. This would make it
after the summer heat breaks. (This was suggested by one of race committee members.)
Email correspondence from Centerville Lion Greg Kieselhorst:
We meet as a Lions Club tonight, as mentioned earlier. No one has seen the Street Dance numbers yet, but as
we all know it was Stopped and Cancelled; and this time around no Insurance money is coming to us. I'm
sure it was a big loss to the Club, as the Band was paid in full under their Contract and we had all the Rentals
in place for it.
It's up to next year's Lions Chairperson, as to what they want to propose for Lion Festival Events. Lion Greg
is stepping down after 9 years of Festival involvement and the Club all ready knows. I was nominated and
accepted our Lions 5M7 Region II Zone 5 Zone Chair position for 2011 -2012. With that I now help oversee
(5) other local Lions Clubs, and I'm still the Centerville Secretary, so doing the Fete next year would be too
much.
Email correspondence from Mr. Bob Cordell, Ham Radio Club:
The way I look at is that what ever you all do we will work to the best of our ability to get the job done.
If the world was perfect I could see the Fun Run would start at 08:00 followed by the Parade at about 13:00
or 14:00 with the fire works at 21:30 and use Sunday as the rain day.
The problem that I have run into is that with volunt er groups we have to work with in there restrictions.
Most of our people are pretty committed to doing the projects the best that we can.
The one thing that would make the event run a bit more smoothly is to have a better prepared agenda and
plan of what is going to take place at what times and where we need to position people to take care of the
event in the most efficient manor.

design used by Creative Kids has embellished Committee Member Amundsen's modifications. Chairperson
Branch said he would send it to his graphic designer and Creative Kid's Academy (Kid's Run Sponsor) for
critical review and would like the committee to consider which logo they like best and why.

DATE: September 2, 2011
SUBJECT: 2012 Parks & Recreation Budget for City Council Review
From Mr. Mike Jeziorski, Finance Director:
Please find attached a summary of the City of Centerville's general fund balance and the portions that are
either proposed to be restricted or are restricted for Parks & Recreation at 8/31/11. Again the restriction for
the 8K run carry over is subject to the expenses that were discussed at our meeting today and council
approval. Chairperson Branch had some questions as follows:
How much money do we have in the reserve account set aside for the sand volley ball court?
According to the 101-45201-374 Parks & Recreation Reserve there is $2803.81 in that line. But based on
this note there are two lines that look like they should be in line - 374.
There is $2500 in a line that reads Park and Rec volleyball court and a line that reads $2444.24 8K run
proceeds. Neither of those two lines agree with the $2803.81 reported in the end of August Report.
Are those two lines additive. That would give us $4944 then if the Council agrees to set aside this year's 8K
proceeds we are well on our way to building that volleyball court?
Mr. Jeziorski answered: The reserve account line item within your monthly financial accounts for the
money spent in reserve year to date. In 2011 the Park and Recreation spent $2,803.81, essentially zeroing
out all reserves associated with your 8K run from the prior years.
Given you had a net proceeds in your 8K operation for 2011 and still carried a balance from the prior year in
association with your volleyball court at the end of 2011 we are projecting you to have the following
reserves: (subject to remaining expenses and the council approves the carry over of 8K run proceeds)
Committed 2,500.00 Park and Rec - Volleyball Court
Committed 717.00 Park and Rec - Concession Operation
Committed 2,444.24 Park and Rec - 8K Run proceeds
Please let me know if you have questions or need further clarification.
Following Mr. Jeziorski's spreadsheet is a reconciliation of the committee's budgeted expenses
through 8/31/11, a copy of a memo to the Centerville Lions regarding the concession stand for 2011
and lastly a memo from Chairperson Branch regarding the budget discussion for 2012.

To Mr. Thill and Lions Members:
Please find below a summary of the operating results from the City of
Centerville's Concession Stand Operation for the 2011 season.
Sales: $2,588
Donation: $59
Cost of Goods Sold:($870)
Wages: ($1,581)
Supplies ($196)
Net: $0
Although the operation was not a huge financial success, through your
assistance and donation, the operation did benefit the parks visitors and truly
enhanced the Little League Baseball experience.
That said, on behalf of the City of Centerville, we would like to thank you and
your staff for the support we received throughout the Little League season in
remedying certain issues that arose. Also, we understand that the concession
trailer when returned did not meet your standards, but we are hopeful that our
staffs quick attention to this matter and correction satisfied the integrity of our
agreement.
Thanks Again!
Sincerely,
Mike Jeziorski

Revenue from sponsors $1,700
Revenue from participants fees $1,965
b. Expenses $ - 1590
C. Explanation: Total expenses for these events was approximately 69% of the
$2300 budgeted for 2011. While revenues were up at 153% of what we
budgeted. Why did we have these wide variations?
i. Revenue were up due to the great help we received from Teresa Bender in
finding new sponsors. Dead Broke Saddle Club also gave us a $350 slight
contribution.
ii. Expenses were well under the estimate based on the cooperation we
received from two of our primary vendors. We budgeted $500 for timing
services based on an estimate 300 participants. We had 120 participants at
a cost of $220. Front Runner, our shirt vendor, allow us to wait until the
week of the race to order the event t- shirts. We bought 125 shirts, rather
than the 300 that we had originally estimated.
d. The Kids Run is cost neutral to the Committee as Creative Kids sponsor team
paid all expenses directly
e. Proposal #1: At the end of the year there should be $1075 left on expense line
101 - 45201 -373. My suggestion is that this money should revert back to the
General Fund.
f. Proposal #2 Request the City Council approve placing the full $3666 in the
Park Reserve Account 101 - 45201 -374. This will increase the reserve set aside
for the sand volley ball court to $6470.
2. Budget line 101- 45201 -370, Park Programs budget is $3,100. To date we have
sent $882. In September, Movies -in- the -Park cost no more than $750. That will
leave a balance of $1468.
a. Proposal #3 Suggest that we request City Council approval to reprogram
$600 for a December skating party with a horse drawn sleigh ride.
b. Proposal #4 Request the City Council approval to reprogram $900 for the
construction of Trail Head signs similar to those used by Anoka County Parks.

TO: Parks & Recreation Committee
FROM: Kim Stephan
DATE: September 2, 2011
SUBJECT: Movie in the Park
The committee had originally scheduled two Movies in the Park events, Saturday, September 10 and
Saturday, September 17, 2011. Between Chairperson Branch, Committee Member Peterson and myself we
have tentatively decided to do just one event on September 17` with this being on your next Agenda for
consideration. Two events on back to back Saturdays seemed over ambitious and if we just went with one
movie we could get better quality. It is also a problem because September 7th is the next scheduled meeting
with a movie scheduled for the following Saturday without really having a plan due to how busy our summer
became with events.
Committee Member Peterson has reserved the movie "How to Train Your Dragon" for Sept 17th. (only one
movie) and said he has heard good reviews and from watching the trailer it looks to be a great movie. See
the following: http: / /www.imdb.com /title /ttO892769
Committee Member Peterson emailed: Going to one movie has given us an opportunity to get a better movie
which is very exciting. I could use some input /alternate opinions of where in Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park
to place the movie screen and would like to get a few members (no more than quorum of course) to meet me
at the park at 6PM before the meeting on Wednesday, September 7" to discuss it. I think we can do better
than last year's location on the warming house.
The Citizen and the Quad Press have been given the info to publish in the Events Calendar. Following are
the details of shipping, the cost and the agreement with Swank Motion Pictures.

SUBJECT: Updates
Trail Project
Update from Mr. Greg Burmeister, Project Manager:
Trail segments are all paved with the exception of 200' on Segment Pl. This is due to conflicts with the
retaining wall and a cable owned by Xcel that needs to be relocated. We are still working in the Main Park
area with most the concrete placed. This work needs to cure until next week so work can be done adjacent to
the concrete. Today, Thursday Sept. P. work has begun by Neaton Brothers to get ready for sod on Mill
Road and Brian Drive. Trail signs are being installed on backf Iled portions of the trail segments.
Lino Lakes Parks & Recreation Youth Football — Usa a /Stri in of Acorn Creek Park
This request came in after the committee's August meeting. I forwarded the request to Dallas Larson, City
Administrator and Paul Palzer, Public Works Director.
I am again coaching 6`" grade football for Lino Lakes and was looking to see if I can get Centerville's
permission to paint lines on the field. Most of our kids live in Centerville so we would like to keep the travel
down for the families by having practice close to their homes. Our 1' choice would be the outfield of field
number 3 at LaMotte Park. Our 2 nd choice would be to strip Acorn Park like we did last year. Give me a
call on my cell phone below if you have any questions. Thanks.
Josh Wlaschin
Dallas Larson gave his written approval with the stipulation it needs to go through Parks & Recreation if
they are going to do the same next year. Per Mr. Larson:
Forward this email. Josh Wlaschin, the coach for 6th Grade football and his teams are authorized to use the
field at Acorn Park and may stripe the field as needed. This approval is with the understanding that they will
use the field in the same manner as last year. In the future, requests to use the field must be provided at least
45 days in advance, so the Park & Recreation Committee and City Council may have the opportunity to
review the request.

SUBJECT: Disc/Frisbee Golf
As I have had multiple residents question whether the Parks & Recreation Committee had considered
Disc/Frisbee Golf at either Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park or Acorn Creek Park, I did some research for
your review. The game of Frisbee golf involves tossing the Frisbee along a designated course, with the
object of the game being to toss your disc into baskets placed along the course in the fewest number of
throws. There are no courses in close proximity to Centerville; following is a list of the nearest ones. Most
courses are free to the public.

disc resting in the basket
Disc Catcher
Your target when playing Frisbee golf is an above-ground basket attached to a metal pole. The tall pole has a
metal basket attached about two feet down 111 the top, with chains similar to that of basketball 111
extending from the top of the pole to the basket area. When you are close to the disc catcher, throw your
Frisbee toward the chains. When the disc hits the chains, it generally slides down the chains and lands into
the basket. Occasionally, rather than a disc catcher, you will find large tonal poles that mark the completion
of a shot; these make a loud noise when your disc strikes the pole.
Tee pads
The tee pad is where a player begins the hole and is for you to stand on when making your throws. Similar
to a tee -box in traditional golf, the tee pad for disc golf often has a sign near the tee pad to give you the par
for the next shot, the distance to the upcoming basket and any hazards or dangers such as thick patches of
brush or bodies of water you should try and avoid.
A solid base is a must for any successful course, and where early courses had plain dirt pads, modern courses
use concrete, or more cost effective materials such as mulch, decomposed granite, or other natural materials.
In recent years recycled rubber mats have been developed and are starting to catch on. While many
alternatives have been created, concrete is the standard.
Frisbee or Disc
The Frisbee or disc is one of the most important pieces of equipment, as you cannot play the game without
one. The discs are heavier and smaller than the a standard lightweight plastic disc you might use at the beach.
The added weight and longer lip edge makes the Frisbee fly easier and go farther. Additionally, there are
different types of discs depending on the shot you are trying to make. Use a putter disc for a straight shot, a
mid -range disc for medium range throws and a driver disc for a long - distance throw. The putter tends to fly
straight more easily than a driver.
Signage
Signage is critical to any good course. Knowing distances, par count, out -of- bounds, and layout for each hole
will give a player the information they need to make a great shot. Many courses have a main layout sign at
the beginning of the course to show details of the course as a whole, as well as any needed information about
the course. Hole signs give specific details about the hole the player is on, such as mandatory paths, out -of-
bounds, and length. Not only are hole information signs critical, but way- finding signs and informational
signs can make a good course great, and the absence of these can make a good course bad.
Topography
What makes Disc Golf unique is the utilization of natural elements, using trees and shrubs as obstacles and
elevation changes to make the course challenging. Keeping the raw and environmentally conscience
elements gives each course its own personality and strategy.
Safety
Safety is one of the most important design elements on a course because most courses are in public parks
many non - players use the same spaces that the course inhabits. So when planning a course watching for all
possible points of interaction with non - players is key to a great course.
Because of all of these elements and the importance of each one to the success of the course seeking out a
qualified experienced course designer will insure that all of these are kept at the forefront.
Considerations
Many public parks, beaches and university common grounds have disc golf courses that are free to use. If
you are unsure of the availability or accessibility of the course, check with the governing authorities before
using the course. You can practice Frisbee golf on your own, or play with a group of friends, making it an
ideal way to stay in shape by yourself or in a group. If your Frisbee develops a crack or jagged edge, discard
it and use a new one. Due to the nature of the courses, be alert to pedestrians or cars driving near the course
of play.
Following is just one cost estimate for the baskets. The price at this web site was comparitable to others I
looked at. This is park quality.
D isc Nation Freedom 16 -Chain Basket - 9 H ole C
he Freedom baskets professional -level features include 16 galvanized chains, powder -
dated hardware, snug-fit tapered poles, and all the familiar proportions and catching
bility of other more expensive professional targets. The Freedom is PDGA Certified for
oc ompetition -- makin g it more affordable than ever to outfit your course with top -notch
urnament -ready baskets!
I
The standard configuration Freedom comes with a portable base for regular use. For more
secure installations like public parks, we offer the permanent -mount Freedom, which
6cludes an in- ground kit with removable sleeve -- concrete the sleeve and lock the basket
Into the sleeve. Purchase additional in -ground sleeves, and you can take advantage of
multiple pin positions! I
i
To help players navigate your course, we also offer a number plate with sticker kit that I
allows each individual basket to be numbered 1 -21 (includes vinyl numbers, "0 -9" plus an
,additional "1" per kit).

targets. Clubs, Parks Depts, Schools, and Churches will love the price and outstanding
quality of the 9 -Hole Freedom Set!
