Disc Golf

Waimate2gether, in partnership with Waimate District Council, created a new Disc Golf course at Victoria Park for everyone to enjoy.

This facility will benefit the whole community and introduce residents and visitors to another great sporting activity that can be played by people of all ages and abilities. The course is family-orientated, fun for all ages, set in beautiful grounds, and can be played all year round. Disc golf is a great addition to your health and fitness, and it’s social and fun too!

Victoria Park is a central location for the community to get to either by walking or biking. The beautiful grounds and established trees are an ideal setting for this nine-hole short course.

Educating the Community

Waimate2gether has purchased portable baskets and sets of discs for each school. Raewyn Williams from Sport Waimate organisation is teaching school children how to throw the disc and play the game. Waimate2gether will organise adult workshops to educate the community about disc golf.
