Resident proposes disc‑golf course at Garden City Park; commissioners ask for video, public feedback and a park walk

Corey Kramer, a Garden City resident, proposed installing a nine‑hole disc‑golf course inside Garden City Park’s walking track. Kramer said baskets could be obtained for roughly $4,000 and that concrete tee pads (recommended but not required) would be the most expensive element; he offered sponsorship and fundraising ideas to cover pad costs.

"I would like to propose installing a disc golf course in Garden City Park," Kramer said in public comment, presenting a map of a course routed through wooded areas and behind the baseball diamonds. He described removable sleeves for baskets that allow temporary removal for events and suggested sponsor‑backed tee pads and donor signage as funding paths.

Commissioners and staff raised safety and maintenance concerns: neighbors and service‑path users might be exposed to errant throws in some alignments; signs and posts could be susceptible to vandalism; and ongoing upkeep (weed‑whipping around baskets) was flagged as an operational consideration. Commissioners asked Kramer to produce a short video/drone fly‑through and suggested a site walk with two or three commissioners before formal action. Staff also proposed scheduling the topic on the April agenda to allow public notice and comment.

Next steps: proponent to supply a video or a guided walk‑through of the exact layout; commission to place the item on the April agenda for public input before any vote or funding decision.
