Disc Golf At Partin Park

The City of Lyons and Partin Park have come together for yet another addition to the park. On Thursday of last week the City Council, Mayor, and head of the recreation department all gathered with several community members to open the new disc golf course at Partin Park. The course was designed by City Manager Jason Hall's son Caden, and then a company from Atlanta came in to tweak the design and put the course together. Hole 1 begins behind the Green Monster, with 10 holes on that side of the park wrapping up around the walking track and near the skate park. Holes 11 through 18 are over near the nature trail on the other side of the park behind the Dream House. The holes range from fairly short to over the length of a football field.

There is no charge to play the course, and it is open to the community just like the rest of the park's facilities.

Mayor Willis NeSmith said, “This is something a bit different for our area. Hopefully, we will see quite a bit of people of all ages coming out to enjoy this new addition to the park. This is just another good idea that we have seen come to fruition at this great park we have.”

Councilman Alfred Cason added, “I'm just glad to be a part of this, and to be the representative of the district that our park is in. I hope that we all can enjoy it, and I am just happy to continue to see it grow.”
