The Future of Disc Golf & Highland Park

At the HPNA board meeting on 2023-02-21 [Minutes] we met with Shea Abbgy, owner of Great Lakes Disc, and current treasurer of Disc Golfers United in Charity (a local disc-golf related 501c3 org).

The 18 hole disc golf course is one of the least utilized courses in the city; primarily due to the lack of tee pads and signing. In light of this Mr. Abbgy proposed five different scenarios for the future of the course.

The HPNA board felt that the second proposal was the best fit for the park. The second proposal is for a smaller youth and beginner oriented nine hole course. The city does not currently have a beginner oriented course. Given the significant amount of construction and additional amenities in the near future of the park the board felt this proposal created the least conflict with other uses.
