After approximately twenty years of having a disc golf course in the plans for Young Park in Blue Springs, the City and several key partners have helped turn those plans into reality.

The City of Blue Springs was recently awarded a Land Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) grant to support the construction of a Disc Golf course in Blue Springs.

This effort was certainly a collaborative one, involving not only the City and the Parks and Recreation Department, but also members of the community. The Quality of Life committee of the Renew the Blue Citizen Visioning Group, Stand Up Blue Springs Citizens Committee, the Blue Springs School District, the Blue Springs Rotary Club and the Kansas City Disc Golf Association worked jointly to develop a new course layout, assemble a budget, secure City funds for the project and submit the grant for matching funds.

The City will contribute $60,500 in funds and labor, the Rotary Club will donate $5,000 in funds, the School District's building trades class will donate labor, and the LWCF grant will fund $49,500.

The course will be a 6,000 feet long full eighteen-hole course layout. Once constructed the City will be able to offer tournaments, clinics, workshops, school P.E. classes and will also be open to the public for play.
