I was just looking at the King County parks page link and the two of the parks listed on their front page have huge disc golf potential. Tolt Macdonald park out in Carnation 574 acres. And Cougar Mountain Park in Issaquah 3000+ acres of land. I have been to both of these parks and am sure their is plenty of room for all types of different courses to be put in at either or.

Do we have a contact with the county who could tell us if either of these would even be a possibility?

There are about 175ish parks listed on their website many of which are to small or too crowded for disc golf. But parks like the ones listed above with lots and lots of land and are a little farther out seem like ideal places to me. Even if it was limited to a corner of the park.

The best strategy/idea to me is going through the parks list and eliminating the ones that we know would not work and then submit a list to the county of possible sites to see if any of them would be automatically ruled out due to nature/wetlands or any other reason.

I don't know if any of this possible but with so many king county parks trying to find the best possible disc golf course by scouting them out and then trying to get approval seems much less efficient than narrowing it down to parks with a legitimate possibility and then sending a team of people to each site to figure out actual layout potential.

We could even end up with multiple approved sites to pick from.

Was there any mention of State Parks at the meeting. Lake Sammamish State Park in Issaquah would also be a fantastic place for a new disc golf course.
