I am honestly stunned to share that the city has officially approved the plans for our first disc golf course. This win belongs entirely to the 533 people who felt strongly enough to sign their names for this. I will keep an eye on the development process and report back …

New York City has the lowest number of disc golf courses per capita of any of the major metropolitan areas in the US. In a 30 mile radius from the city center, there are less than half a dozen courses and not a single official course exists within the city limits. The purpose of this petition is to help persuade the City of New York Parks Department to consider disc golf as a viable recreation activity in the city, and demonstrate that there is significant interest in the sport. Please sign this petition if you are a lover of disc golf, disc sports or outdoor recreation in general, and please feel free to pass it on to others that may be interested.

I am honestly stunned to see so many people backing this idea and I never imagined this could gain such momentum. If you could take a moment to pass this link along to someone else who enjoys the outdoors, we might just reach that next milestone together.

I never imagined so many people would care about finding a place to play in the city. Your comments about the need for more outdoor space have been truly eye-opening for me.

I would appreciate a disc golf course at a public park accessible via the NYC public transit system (subway/bus)

Disc Golf is insanely popular in Charlotte, NC. A ton of businesspeople from Charlotte to New York regularly and would like a course to play at

Disc golf courses are extremely cost effective and low maintenance relative to other sporting areas, and are considerably less obtrusive than softball diamonds or any other sporting ground. Please consider giving us a place to play. Thank you.

Living in Queens and having to drive over an hour to play is getting old. We really need something closer to the city.

NYC is way behind on this. So many other cities have great courses already. Lets get one here.
