Friday Night

Friday night at Park 96 is primarily a private party for BP Canada Energy.  Between 6pm to 10pm, we are holding final registration.  All registered golfers will be allowed into the park.  During this time you will have the opportunity to play a practice round or two.  There's nothing like playing a round of golf at Parkland with music flowing down the hills. 

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 outside at the entrance to the park.  At registration you will receive your players pack items.  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 between 8:00 - 9:30.  Exact change greatly appreciated.

  Guest passes


Disc Golf players registered in the tournament may purchase up to 3 (three) guest weekend passes for the Parkland Solstice Festival 2008 for their spouses, partners, friends, etc.  These guest tickets will be $35 for the weekend, if purchased prior to Saturday June 21; if purchased on Saturday June 22, the gate price is $40 per ticket.
