Friday Night

Friday night at Park 96 is primarily a private party for BP Canada.  Between 6pm to 10pm, we are allowed into the park for final registration for the disc golf tournament.   You will also have the opportunity to play a practice round or,  if you choose, mentor a BP guest on playing disc golf.  Depending on the weather, there could be a large number of people interested in playing.  BP is also offering dinner and a non-alcoholic drink for those golfers who help with the mentoring.   If you are interested in mentoring, contact Al or Kevin.  This is a large corporate event and will have security and police presence throughout the park, so please behave accordingly. 

Registration 6:00pm to 10:00pm

There will be registration just inside at the entrance to the park at Disc Central.  At registration you will receive your players pack items.  Additional discs and shirts will be available on Saturday and Sunday.  You will be given a wristband that you must wear all weekend to have access in and out of the park.   Final registration is  Saturday morning.  Exact change greatly appreciated.

  Guest passes


Disc Golf players registered in the tournament may purchase up to 3 (three) guest passes for the Parkland Solstice Festival 2007 weekend for their spouses, partners, friends, etc. Guest tickets can be purchased on Friday night for $25.  These guest tickets will be $30 each on Saturday.
