Anchorage Disc Golf Association: Alcantra Parks and Rec meeting for Expansion/fun

Alcantra DGC

Alcantra Parks and Rec meeting for Expansion/funding of Wasilla's only disc golf course - We need YOUR/the whole Alaskan DG Communities help!

For the past few years the people in Wasilla have been really trying to get the city to give us funding for 9 more baskets to no avail. Last year they had a meeting to fund us but none of us even knew about the city meeting and it wasn't passed due to lack of interest and some of the neighbors living behind our course voting against it. This year we have a chance to get 9 more baskets and expand the only course out here to 18 holes.

We in the past 2 years have really cleaned up the course adding benches and trash cans on every other hole along with clearing dead and fallen trees from the fairways along with constant upkeep from many many local players. We are really striving to make this course into a real legit DG course for the community out here and could use ALL of the help we can get.

The city is having a meeting meeting on may 20th at 5pm in fire station number 61 off of Lucille st in Wasilla and our course funding/expansion is on the agenda, I encourage everyone to help us out and lets swarm the meeting with a ton of people who enjoy the sport and can show Wasilla and Alaska that we want more disc golf out here!

If you want more info feel free to call me at 775-0260 or hit up our Facebook page at http://facebook.com/AlcantraDGC

Thanks

The meeting went well, Sorry I should have posted before now. We have the approval for expansion but have to have a set down meeting with the home owners assisation from the community behind our course to see if we can try at all to cut down on the new holes being to close to there homes, a couple of the originally planned holes might have safty issues and or be fairly close to surrounding neighbors homes. A couple of us will be heading out tomorrow to GPS the original 18 holes intended for the course and figure out the changes to the originally planned layout so to accomodate the neighbors and also make the course safer and a easier walk through style layout. Adittionally I would like to thank Jeremy and Adam for both coming out and helping/showing your support.

Justin J. Jun 5, 2013 Will we be moving many of the existing baskets? They are nearly all located in low spots that get very muddy in the spring

hopefully yes we want to move a few of the current 9 baskets as well as compleatly remove a couple of the holes all together. in the next couple seasons there will be alot of changes being made to help improve the course.

Justin J. Jun 9, 2013 Let me know if there are things I can do, my brother and are only about 1 mile from the course.

Justin J. Jun 9, 2013 We have chainsaws and trucks and 4 wheelers. If we need to raise money I was thinking of maybe a raffle for a portable basket and a 3 set if discs or something at Walmart or carrs
