PHOTO GALLERY: Opening of the New Downtown Disc Golf Course

The new disc golf course at San Lorenzo Park is great for beginners, according to first timers.

Dozens of people showed up to San Lorenzo Park for the Disc Golf Festival on Saturday afternoon to dig in on some of the action that took place on the field and in between the trees.

Professionals, amateurs and beginners were all in attendance and chatted amongst each other about tips on throwing a disc or pointers to the game and people from the Disc Golf Association, Discraft, and Innova had booths set up in case anyone had questions. Some people even showed up just to watch and enjoy the warm weather.

Saturday was the first time that Patricio Carpio played disc golf at and he liked what he saw.

“It’s awesome,” said Carpio. “For beginners, it’s an ideal park. There’s a lot of space for practice and also the baskets are closer.”
