FAQs
Why are you proposing to build a second Disc Golf course within Kingston?
Disc Golf is a competitive and social activity that people of all ages can play. Following the success of the Disc Golf course at Bald Hill Park, our community supported the idea of building a second course in the south of Kingston to allow the community in that area to play Disc Golf.
Why has Bicentennial Park been chosen as the proposed location?
We engaged a specialised consultant to conduct a site feasibility assessment on four locations within Kingston, predominately in the southern area of the municipality. They identified Bicentennial Park as the ideal location for Kingston's second Disc Golf Course.
Will the Disc Golf course be free to use for the public?
Yes, it will be free to use, and discs are available to borrow from our libraries and community centres.
Will any trees be removed or will there be changes to the natural environment?
No, we will not be removing trees or changing the natural environment to install the course.
Will the proposed changes affect events held at the Reserve, such as the Park Run and Kingston Carols?
No events will be impacted, including the Park Run and Kingston Carols. The proposed new course will not affect the areas where these events are held and will also be freely open and accessible to the community for active recreation and other activities.
How many baskets will be installed at the new Disc Golf course?
The course features 9 tee points and 18 baskets, allowing users to either play a 9-hole course or an 18-hole course.
Will there be any changes to the existing dog exercise and off leash areas?
There will be no changes to the existing dog off leash areas or any other park area. The course will maximise park usage while minimising any disruption to other activities.
