Be on the lookout for flying objects hovering across Māpua this King’s Birthday weekend – we’re expecting a close encounter of the fun kind.
The Nelson Tasman Disc Golf Club will be hosting a pop-up disc golf day at Aranui Park on Sunday 1 June.
The event will double as the club’s monthly Cup Competition Day and is an opportunity for the community to experience a sport growing in popularity, while also testing the appetite for a potential permanent course installation at the park.
Club members will bring their own temporary baskets and tee pads to create the proposed course. Once the club event is complete (around 11.00 am), the course will remain set up till 2.00 pm so you can come down, borrow a disc, have a chat with members of the club for some tips and tricks and try out the proposed course for yourselves.
Disc golf is a relatively inexpensive sport to get into, and most courses are free to play. It’s also a sport for all ages and abilities and is a great way to get outside and be active while having fun.
Discussions have been taking place with our Reserves team with a view to consider permanently installing an inclusive, nine-hole, beginner-friendly disc golf course.
Aranui Park is already well-known as a great spot for all-ages recreation, and the club believes this would be a valuable community asset and fits well with the Councils view of multi-use spaces.
