Hello All Disc Golfers,
The last time DFOK made a presentation (w/ Jon & I speaking) to the CITY Parks & Recreation Advisory Board regarding Warner Park Disc Golf, we were basically told to wait and participate in the upcoming City Comprehensive Parks Facilities & Program Study.
It appears the time for the City Study has arrived. The City is currently rolling out information about the upcoming study... Online forums, public meetings, email campaigns, etc. will follow.
I wish this wasn't coming up at the same time as the push (from another group) for improvements from at the State Park at Tuttle... However I have NO CONTROL over when the City is doing this study.
Good news is, I don't think the City's Study will be in direct "competition" with the current Tuttle project. The Study will NOT require money from us, just a lot of energy.
Question: Should "we" wait until we have more time later? Answer: NO.
We will need disc golfers to get involved in community wide online discussions & public meetings/activities to make it clear we need MORE DISC GOLF facilities in Warner (or some other City owned park), just to keep up with the growing demand for disc golf. It could very well be a point in time where we need to "speak now or forever hold our peace", regarding our requests from the City. In other words, if we don't speak up during this process it could be used against us in the future in a manner of "Too late, you didn't say anything back when we did that 2014 Study?".
Hopefully having both this campaign, and the other groups Tuttle project, going on simultaneously will create energy that feeds of each other.
Together Everyone Accomplishes More!
Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available to us.
Sincerely,
Rick Petrie
