Parks Plan to Introduce "Disc Golf" to Junpero
Serra Park, Leading to Park Visitors Concerns
of the Resulting Envirionmental Impact
At the Parks Commission Board Meeting of
June 5, 2014, Disc Golf was added to the draft
budget for the coming year. This will be
considered by the Board of Supervisors on June
17th.
Disc Golf's impact is seen as having clear
potential to damage the park environment. In
San Francisco, SaveMcLarenPark.org tells of
their 9 year fight to prevent a disc golf course
from harming that park.
Consider the current uses at the park:
- Picnic Areas
- Parking for picnic areas
- Nature trails throughout the park
- Childrens' play equipment area
- Boy Scout campground
How does a sport like golf, football or baseball
fit in with raptors, birds, grassy meadow slopes,
oak tree and redwood forests? Not very well with
frequent damage to the trees and other wildlife.
