Talk to people about Parma DGC at Veterans Memorial Park.

hello! my name is grant franke, and i am one of the founding members of this course.

the course was designed and partially installed in 2006. as of january 2007, there are 9 holes with baskets and tee signs. with some luck, the city of parma will finish the back 9 holes in the spring. we hope to also install a welcome sign with a course layout.

the course is primarily a wooded one, and it requires a disc golfer to maneuver around various trees and narrow fairways.

if you want to play, please visit veteran's memorial park (aka state road park) located near parma high school. there are also a group of guys that meet there every sunday afternoon around 2pm (although the time can vary during football season especially!).

for more information, feel free to email me at grant.franke@valpo.edu or brett at iafigliola@gmail.com or mike at mcampisi@gmail.com

When do you think the back nine will be installed?

March 24th, 2007

Hi Everyone - I just started playing disc golf last week and I tried to create a course map. Let me know if it is off or if there is a better resource.

I see poles in the woods oposite the existing 9 holes. Are these for future baskets & signs? If so, any idea when?

May 4th, 2007

The city did install those poles on the opposite side last year when they were doing the front nine, but they could not finish it then. Now it looks like they will resume installation in June.

I spoke with the recreations director and expressed my concerns and also mentioned the completion of the course. I have noticed the amount of trash and debris that is all over this place. A trash can of two might be better suited then the welcome sign. This place could be great, Im there at least 4 times a week and harldy see anyone, its kinda sad. The garbage and vandles over run it. I take a trash bag with me every time and the trash comes back the next day. 3 days ago I went there with my family and some one had relived their selves and the second tee. Eww@!@@!!! The #1 and #2 tee signs have been ripped off and bent over not to mention the only indicator of where the course even was, the small rules sign, is gone! It sad that the city really doesnt do a thing about it.

August 8th, 2007

The city has removed the remaining tee signs for safe keeping and is looking into buying replacements for the stolen ones. The signs will be put back up with more heavy duty posts and attachments to hopefully thwart the vandalism. If the new set-up stands up better, then the city will look to do the same on the backside. They have not given any firm timetable on when the signs will be put back up. The trash is ridiculous and any suggestions on how to keep people from making such a mess would be great. People would probably just destroy trash cans.

that is awsome news about the signs. I dont care if the city holds em way too long at least they werent vandelized. I love this course and wish it the best. Except the bushes..oh I hate those bushes. As far as trash goes, nothing. Your right, they may just destroy the garbages so, what can u do? Nothing , as long as people are allowed in there their just gonna pollute, I guess. It just sucks to see, especialy if someone comes in from outta town or what about tourny play someday.
