I think the concerns are more school related than neighborhood related. I am on the fence on this one: Everyone knows the connection between player consumption (various) and disc golf, you would be naive if you were considering a DG park and did not. On the other hand, if your loop is small enough and you state your rules and reasons clearly, you would think that players would respect the local restrictions and would forgo consumption for the 45 mins - 1 hour it takes to play. Lunchtime tried to be adamant about this, and now the garbage cans are overflowing with empties and last time I played there was a pickup truck selling weed to players walking by. There is a line to draw at any course, and a cost to enforcement, but I don't think there are easy answers either way. I guess I respect their decision to pull the park based on school and neighborhood proximity, but would have liked to see them try one round of working with the DG community before pushing what seems like a knee-jerk reaction to one or a few incidents.
