Very difficult, heavily wooded disc golf course with public bathrooms and water fountains. Shade in the woods can be helpful in the heat of the day, but after heavy rain the tee pads can get very slippery. Use a spotter on blind shots to avoid losing discs. And don't be shy to play from the shorter tee pads because the longs are monsters!

This used to be a wonderful park for the whole town to enjoy. I have decades of fond memories there. Unfortunately, it’s been converted to a disc golf course and the players are extremely rude to anyone trying to enjoy the park. It’s a real shame and a misuse of public tax dollars, if that’s how it was built.

Let’s be honest… I hate this Disc Golf course (Northwood Blue). But only because I am bad at it! It’s a beautiful course and well maintained. Five stars for being beautiful, one star for giving me hurt feelings about my disc golf abilities.

Besides being one of the great disc golf area, people can also jog or hike here. If one likes to walk or jog up and down hills then this is one of the place for you! Nice hills and wooded area with a 1 mile "loop" in the back of the park. I usually do 3 to 4 round or until my legs give up😅 This park also is a great place for kids to hang around. In the winter, you can even sled there! One of my fav place for cardio and legs workout!
