I just had a good talk with the landscape architect. She said the county is very much leaning toward including disc golf in the master plan, because (a) it's a way to include some recreational amenities without nearly the amount of infrastructure and maintenance that would be required by ball fields, basketball courts, etc; and (b) it would potentially get people moving through corners of the park that wouldn't otherwise have any eyes on them.

Anyway, she's going to keep me posted, and she might invite me down to their office to look at their maps and such. If things look promising for disc golf, we might even walk through a local course or two.


Again, fingers crossed, but I'm hopeful. As always, I think any serious objections are going to come not from the planners but from people who think "low-impact" isn't good enough and want to see ZERO changes to the natural environment.
