The Park 96 Disc Golf Course was officially opened in May 2003. It has the distinction of being the first private community course ever opened in Calgary. The baskets, signage and course development were entirely funded by the community of Parkland for use by its residents and guests. It is surely the best course that Calgary has ever seen, and is introducing the sport to a wide spectrum of people. It is now played by a great age range and has many families participating. The Parkland course should be viewed by other communities as a model in successfully implementing this inexpensive and enjoyable sport for their residents.
July 2010
Associate Memberships have been revoked by the Board of Directors at Park 96.
We are currently trying to understand the issues that caused this decision to be made.
You must now be a guest of a Parkland Resident to enter the park.
