The point of a public park is to provide outdoor enjoyment for everyone. Not turn the outdoors into a museum that you can only see not touch. It is a big park with room for everyone.

1200 lb horses can destroy trails (huge holes in trails) daily, however 170 lb disc golfers are bad for the park?? Wake up Chico!

I just moved to Chico and have not even played the course. I have been playing for 26 years and cannot for the life of me uderstand this mess. Are these "outsiders" educated?

It's been there for years...It's a local Icon...SAVE OUR COURSE

Disc golf is a wonderful way for family to spend time together in upper park. It is a opportunity to instill love and respect for our environment in our children. Our family supports option "A" (long 18 hole and short 18 hole course).

Disc golf is just another way to enjoy the great outdoors and the beauty of Bidwell Park. It is accessable to all ages and all skill levels and should remain in the Park for generations to come!

Don't let the city screw us again!

Disc golf should be encouraged and supported by the City of Chico. Disc golf facilities should be in both upper and lower Bidwell Park.

disc golf is one of my favorite things to do. anybody that would try to take it away from the youth and all ages is a debbie downer just spoilin our fun. Disc For All

Disc golf isn't hurting anything! How dare they try to take it away!

Disc golf at Upper Bidwell should continue! Its one of the only free, fun things to do! For people of all ages

This is a awsome course that is on piece of land that is otherwise unused. It is a great asset to our community.

The HOGS Disc Golf Club visits Chico many times a year just to play disc golf. If the course in Upper Bidwell is removed we will have no reason to visit Chico. Please know that many people visit your city and spend money there because of the great course

Please leave disc golf in the park. Frisbees are zero emissions!

if San Francisco goldern gate park can support disc golf i believe chico can support disc golf there are ways of protecting the trees and making the community happy.

Disc golf is a great activity for both kids and adults. Please do not remove the course.

the idea that they are damaging the trees is crazy. the deer would do more damage to the trees than the disc's do.

we travelled from canada to play Bidwell Park, it's a beauty, put in concrete tee pads, it's whats needed

Disc golf is a great incentive for many people to get out and enjoy the wonders of the land with little impact to the environmental quality of the park.

Chico needs disc golf.

looks like a great course cant wait to try it out just moved from denver moved out here 2 months ago and all my familey plays golf here

Leave it there.

Parks are ment to be enjoyed by people.

Disc Golf Courses give kids something constructive to do with their time. Don't take away something positive from children.

I am a registered Civil Engineer. Please put me down for support of the Upper Park DG Courses. These areas are needed for recreational opportunities. Proposed improvements should be allowed to continue..

this is a great course! I moved here from Santa Cruz and I think the upper bidwell course is scenic and challenging

Don't close a course that's known for it's unique location for hundreds of miles around. You'd be suprised how many different people know of this course.

Keep Disc Golf alive in Chico! These are epic courses that Northern Cali Golfers do not want to see go!

Disc golf is a great way to enjoy the beauty of Bidwell park. Losing the course is a big detrament to the community, and the park.

Litigation by the 8 (and only 8) members of the FOBP are undermining the decisions of our elected officials. They serve only themselvs, and other environmental consultants. The Chico community is savy, we can make this course sustainable!

Disc Golf is a great sport. i've been playing it for 16 years now , i can't get enough of the sport and now i have my kids getting into it. it is a great family sport that is enjoyed by everyone, to lose this course would be a shame

I don't need to lose my best excuse to get up from the couch entranced by the TV.

No participants of any other sport respect the environment like disc golf players do and to take the course away on those grounds is the ultimate irony.

This course is my life in the spring/summer/fall. I know every tree and every rock and I have had far to many memories there to see it get shut down. Save the course!

Let us keep playing

Save our course!!

What is so bad about disc golf

I largely object to the removal of this amazing course! Save this course!

next thing you know, they will be removing basketball coursts and soccer fields from other parks. What a better way to enjoy a wonderful resource by playing disc golf there.

save disk golf

That is one of the nicest parts of Bidwell Park? Why remove it?

the golf course is one of the only reasons I and many other people even come to chico, its good for the local economy and its a fun, cheap sport to help maintain a healthy lifestyle

This is a great and unique characteristic of Chico and life in Northern California.

this is a public park. we should be allowed to use it too

Disc golf is a great healthy outdoor alternative to the indoor non-physical entertainment that is prevalent today

Please dont let the screams of a few disrupt the harmless pleasure of many.

Don't close the disc golf course. It is a great sport for everyone. Closing the course would be a terrible decision.

Disc golf is one of my favorite ways to enjoy the beauty of upper park. It would be horrible if the course no longer existed.

As a graduate of Chico State and avid disc golfer I urge the Park Commission and City of Chico to write a Statement of Overriding Consideration if necessary and provide this great recreational benefit to the community.

Don't get rid of disc golf. Its a great sport and a great pasttime.

Save Disc Golf in Upper Park.

Not only should disc golf be allowed in Bidwell Park, the "Friends" and anyone else who cares about this amazing place should embrace it! You won't find a more beautiful piece of nature, and disc golfers understand this better than most.

I first discovered disc golf here in Chico and now it's my favorite hobby bar none. The beauty of the course and the sense of community between golfers is why I can't stay away. And it's FREE and I'm broke!!! But mostly it's the beauty.

Chico deserves a beautiful disc golf course.

Look at Oroville's course and Chico is put to shame. I still can't believe that We don't have a nice course indicitve of out beautiful town! It's down right embarrasing.

Disc Golf is one of the few inexpensive recreation opportunities available to the public. It gets people excited about being outside and nature in general. Getting more people to appreciate the outdoors is key to conversation efforts.

Keep disc golf alive!

This was the first course I played when I moved to Susanville 5 years ago. I have played over 130 courses across the US, and this ranks towards the top. The views are unmatched and the challenge is great!

We need to keep the course AND allow improvements to help with environment concerns

Great, healthy way to have fun outside! Chico needs to keep disc golf alive!

Love Chico, Love Disc Golf. The course is one of the big reasons I have come back to visit Chico over the years after moving out of town. Good clean active fun for all ages.

Please keep these courses open. There is a constant flow of people everyday that enjoy these courses. They need to be renovated and continue to be avialable for family fun.

The pure beauty and constant challenge of this great course have helped me introduce disc golf to many friends that are now fans for life. Don't take our course away!

This town needs things for people my age to do besides spend money at the bars. We need disc golf in Chico.

I can't imagine chico without disc golf. Let disk golf in chico remain!!!

Chico should support disc golf. It has one of the best courses in the state, do not allow a vocal minority to ruin a growing, vibrant sport for the very supportinve disc golf playing majority in Chico.

CARD, Thank you for your continued support of an Upper Bidwell Park disc golf course. Please don't let the interests and lawsuits of a few Chico residents ruin a wonderful recreational activity for the rest of us.

Good wholesome fun, let it flourish!

It would be a shame to lose such a beautiful course

i had alot of fun at the gathering this weekend and getting over $300 to be donated to charity

Disc Golf is my life!!!

Our whole family plays disc golf. We love upper park too. Keep the disc golf course in upper park! It's contained and its harming nobody. It's a park not a preserve!

Save the Disc Golf in upper Park. My kids love it!

The Bidwell disk golf courses are a great feature in chico and and it would be tragic if they were removed.

Me like golf frisbee

We need more opportunities for outdoor recreation like disc golf. We already have too many restrictions on public lands in Chico.

It's my way to get in touch with nature while getting the exercise that has kept me healthy in mind, body and soul.

Chico is my hometown. I was first exposed to disc golf at the upper park courses. Every time I return home a trip to the disc golf course is essential. This course is part of the park and the people of Chico!

Who doesnt like chasing plastic saucers around all day

I lived in Chico for 5 years and the disc golf course was one of my favorite places for exercise, recreation, and stress relief. Some of my best memories were created there. It would be a shame to ruin that for the residents and future residents.

At the time of this message I have only been playing disc golf for little over a month. All I can do is say that I would be very dissapointed if disc golf was taken away in Chico. Support Disc Golf in Chico!!!

Some of my favorite times in Chico were at Bushwacker.

I saw my greatest scores when pregnant. I am a College instructor and mother who doesn't want to see it go. SAVE ACTIVITIES THAT PROMOTE OUTDOOR LOW-COST FUN!!!

As a new student at CSUC, I have yet to play the course here. However, the fact there was a disc golf course nearby was one of the reasons I decided to attend CSUC. PLEASE DON'T REMOVE THE COURSE!

This park is the best park I have ever been in. This course is a great place to hang and be close to nature. To take out one of the very few course in the world is to take away the entire sport from a community because of its rarity.

Disk golf should be reckognized by the city of Chico. We provide a one hole practice in the Childrens park but fail to continue the development of a full course. The upkeep is managable and sholuld not be the discouraging factor to create a nice course.

I enjoy playing disc golf with friends and family. It gets my kids away from the TV and into the outdoors. We have some great conversations as we play and walk the course. We need to develop and maintain the course to minimize impact.

I love disc golf and I took pictures of the last time I went, I alway take my trash away with me and I hate that some people litter. Don't take away discgolf in chico

Outdoor recreation is healthy for the individual and the community, and Chico needs more of it. We're fortunate to have Bidwell Park, and I'd like to think a properly designed and managed disc golf course encourages its respectful enjoyment.

i love the chico disc golf course. id be heartbroken if it got removed.

How can anyone not support an activity that gets families and friends outside to socialize and run around having fun?? Disc golf in Bidwell Park is an asset to Chico and the surrounding communities.

Having been recently introduced to this sport, my family and I are looking forward to visiting your fair city this summer while visiting family. We plan a trip to your course because it's a special way to spend quality time with loved ones - of all ages!

I come to Chico for the disc golf and stay for the shopping and great food. I would hate to give all that up. Please keep the disc golf courses.

save the course

please, PLEASE don't shut down our course, it is a great place with an awesome view. You can't just deny access to a public park to its residents. The shutting down of this site would be a tragedy...

It's a nice place to go. I would be a big shame if this was taken away from the community.

Disc golfers take pride in doing everything we can to make sure the environment we play in is treated with respect. This course is one of the reasons why Chico is so special.

I just got a hole-in-one on hole 6 (beginner course) a little while ago. The course needs to stay just the way it is so everyone who plays hole 6 and sees my name on the pin will understand just how awesome I am. Seriously though, please keep the course

If your budget is an issue then there is nothing better for this park than a disc golf course! I think they keep foot traffic in otherwise unused parts of the park and help deter crime. Plus it has already been there for ten years it has worked so far why

I started disc golfing in the bay area. I've since moved to Chico and think it would be a shame to see the only course in the area disappear.

On behalf of TEAM SILVERBACK, please let us keep the Chico course. It really means a lot to all of us in the disc golf community and it is a key course for the Shasta Series Tournament. So please keep it going, thank you and God bless.

I love disc golf. It is fun. And I cannot live without it.

DIsc golf helps support local business and brings in out of city visitors for an enjoyable time.

Disc golf should stay in upper park

I was born in Chico and I love to play Disc Golf here. This is one of the few things I do every day. Please help support our course!

Disc golf needs to stay in Chico

Disc golf should be supported as it's a great way to enjoy the outdoors, get valuable exorcise, and it can be enjoyed by people of all ages. There are not enough athetic endeavors nowadays this inexpensive and available to so many different people.

Disc golf remains a healthful and inexpensive game that can be played by people of all ages. While the environmental impact of our young sport is just being realized, most usage problems can be ameliorated through careful planning.

Please consider DiscGolf as an inexpensive AND nondiscriminating sport that can be enjoyed by EVERYONE at a very low cost. Thank You

As a former California resident, disc golf is a positive impact for the entire community

As most cities are finding out, disc golf courses are a great asset to have. If effort is put forward to maintain the area, then the impact is negligible.

Keep the course! It is a great activity for college students and others.

Great exercise, good times, keeps kids out of trouble; Why would you remove it? That makes no sense to me. Save The Bidwell Park DG Course!

Please keep the course, I haven't actually played there. The landscape is awesome, my grandparents owned a 1,200 acre ranch just a few miles up the road, but sold it to CSU for the ecological reserve. I know that there is a place for Bidwell Disc Golf!!!

Disc golf SAVES LIVES

Please keep this course and others in the ground.Thank You

Disc Golf does not necessarily have a bad impact on trees. Ewing Disc Golf Course in Des Moines Iowa plays through the city's Children's Arboretum. It is a great way to play disc golf and learn about the many variety of trees and shrubs in the park.

Please do not remove the Disc Golf course!!!

A disc golf park with two full courses is rare here in Oklahoma. The city of Chico should do everything it can to protect this resource for the local D.G. community. If it is removed, the future generations of disc golfers will miss out.

Everyone is a discgolfer, they just don't know it yet! ~don't deny the future great players this experience.

My father and me travel all across the state of California and have also gone out of state to play competitive disc golf. Chico needs a tournament class course to host tournament and for practice. The City needs to keep this course and make it official.

Please do not remove the Disc Golf course!!!

Chico needs disc golf, wherever it may be.

Disc Golf can share the park with many other users. Disc Golf is one way for people to spend time outdoors in a peaceful, beautiful and natural environment. It is less damaging to a park than a paved bike trail or parking lot.

we struggled with many of the same issues in San Francisco -- dics golf and environmental protection are NOT mutually exclusive as long as there is a willingness to find solutions and not just scream at ecah other.

If disc golfing is wrong, then i don't want to be right baby...............

We have courses in Tulsa that are over 30 years old. The tree damage is neglible after 3 decades. Bugs, birds and wind causes much more damage than disc golfers.

Please consider keeping your disc golf course. it is a viable community asset that is accessable to all at no charge.

Please consider keeping your disc golf course. it is a viable community asset that is accessable to all at no charge.

Save disc golf!

Please keep the disc golf courses in place. It is my new love, hobby and it gives me excercise!

I love Bidwell Park. My friends and I go Disc golfing every week. Great exercise for me and my dog. Please don't take it away. Places like this show "flatlanders" how beautiful the upper park is. Love and respect will lead to greater land conservation.

The city should keep the disc golf courses in upper park. I have become a more avid disc golfer over the past few months and every time that I go the parking lot has anywhere from 5-30 cars in it. We should not lose this privelege.

To have a course to improve on is huge. There is a legitimate base of players from all area's that will and have support issues such as this. Not supporting Disc Golf would be a great loss to the people of the community.

Disc golf is a major part of Chico and if they take it out they will be ruining one of the best ways to get outdoors and have a great time

Taking out the disc course would be asinine

This course holds a lot of memories for me. All of them good =) I have been playing this course since 1999. I do not want to see it get closed down! Save this course!!

Chico's Disc Golf Course has one of the greatest views on the planet, and getting rid of that is just rediculous. I'm up for keeping it.

playing disc golf at the upper park course is a great way to experience our beautiful local enviornment. Why remove it? .

I am Chico high student and most of my friends use the course multiple times a week and would be very upset if it was take out.

The disc golf course is one of few positive and free recreation activities in chico and is an incredible asset to many of our citizens. It is low impact in comparison to many other park activities and should be recognized.

I firmly support Disc Golf in Bidwell Park, and any attempt to remove it would only harm the quality of recreation spaces in the area.

I've never personally done it! But I've always wanted to and it should remain.

There are not enough good disc golf courses around!

Disc Golf is enjoyed by many in this area.

The disc golf course is a positive way for people of all ages to spend their free time. This a great activity. My friends and I love going to play.

I have only played there a few times but I loved it. It is a great rec sport. I support keeping it!!

I'm don't live in Chico anymore, but when I return, which I often do, I look forward to playing on the course. Don't take that away.

I met the love of my life on that course. I'll never forget her sweet sweet name...Disc Golf. Retro, Tomahawk, whatever the style, she knew how to make me feel loved. One round on her firm yet tender par 3 holes(all 18) made me understand nature.

Love the sport and want to see it stay around!

I love the disc golf courses. Removing them would be stupid.

Bidwell Park was created for the enjoyment for the enjoyment of all citizens of Chico. The disc golf course is a small footprint on the 3,600 acre park, and gives players an appreciation of the canyon with its awesome views. Keep the Upper Park course!

slothrowers.com... supporting Disc Golf across the state of California.

I have played disc golf on and off for 20 years and have played a variety of courses throughout Northern California. Disc Golf is a clean recreational activity for people of all ages to enjoy.

Seems to me the "Friends" have fallen victim to the same thinking that lead to the vietnam war. The slippery slope fallacy. They see disc golf leading to a wasteland of dead trees and billboards. I see it as another great thing to do in Chico.

If you really want to save the trees and their surrounding environment, you should help advocate a permanent course. That way, when the area is parcelled off for track housing, it will be protected from the suburbian hell that Chico is sure to become.

Think of it in terms of communal services. Providing more outlets for our youth can only increase there opportunities for success.

Disc golf at Bidwell Park is my biggest reason to use the park. Why can all parties work together to create solutions to reasonably accomodate preservationists and actual park users?

The disc golf course in Chico represents a healthy alternative form of recreation which the city needs to support. The city should embrace it, as it adds to the diversity of recreation opportunities the community is known for.

i belive that the disc golf course should not be rmoved. it is one of the great things to do in chico that is free. The park offers a great time in the outdoors and also offers an alternative to alcohol.Removal of the courese would be a shame and a loss.

The greatest detriment to Bidwell Park is the arrival of luxury homes on the once-beautiful canyon ridge...disc golf should be the least of the city's concerns!

Disc golf is fun and an important asset to bidwell Park,

Disc Golf is a great game it allows people to get out and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Please keep the Disc Golf course open for future generations to enjoy!

Discgolf is a great sport for everybody, please let us enjoy discgolf now and also in the future.

For many of us college students who choose not to be a stereotype and try our best not to feed the "party town" attitude of Chico, disc golf is one of the only things left in this town for us to take part in. Please don't take that away from us.

Please save the Chico disk golf course, we need more recreational oppertunities in Chico!

I no longer live in Chico, but when I did, I would frequent the Bidwell Disc Course. I have been to a number of courses and none are like the Chico course. The bluffs and the open area, just gorgeous. Chico needs a disc course.

" The community that Disc Golfs together, stays together" I believe that. This sport is unlike any other. Anyone can play. Regardless of age,sex or physical stature. Alone, or in a group, Disc Golf is for everyone. Please dont remove Disc Golf from Chico

These courses have inspired me to start a disc golf program at the Boys and Girls Club teaching young children the facination of playing this sport. Lets keep passing the torch!

If the course is shut down people will continue to find places to play. Might as well just keep one designated area instead of having a bunch of unofficial places throughout the park

This is a great family activity that should not be destroyed by a few disgrunts!

If frisbee golf in Chico is taken away from me, I will cry.

Disc golf is beautiful way to see the dry hills around Chico. The view is fantastic, the people are nice, most keep the area clean, & I can take my family and pets out for a walk. Removal would destroy a greatly appreciated part of Chico's beauty.

Disc golf exposes people to nature and the environment who would potentially not otherwise be so exposed.

Disc golf provides wonderfully safe yet challenging outdoor recreation with family and friends. For fitness, for fun, and for appreciating the beauty of Bidwell Park, the City of Chico needs to allow the disc golf courses to be improved and maintained.

This course is one of the many things that makes Chico "Chico." Recreation and use of the park is the point of Bidwell Park. This is low impact and great fun for the whole family.

If the disc golf course is removed then you will be taking away a lot of good exercise for a lot of people. I love disc golf and it would be a travesty if the course was removed.

(edited for content) I don't appreciate my recreational opportunities being attacked by the environmental community!

I go to the course 2 to 4 times a week, it's a great way to spend time with friends and family. Don't take it away from us!

BEST entertainment value in Chico! WHY remove it? Bidwell Park isn't big enough? Wake up, chico! Time for action!

Disk golf provides people with a great activity to enjoy with friends and family, taking the course away would be a tragedy

I play disc golf almost everyday and I think it is a great way to enjoy Bidwell. If they close down the course we all would have to drive to oroville and that is just way to much gas. SAVE THE COURSE!!!

disc golf is a necessity in chico

Disc golf has been a great way for me to escape for a couple hours and enjoy the outdoors. It is good, clean, innocent fun. My question is: "Why is the course being targeted when there are countless subdivisions being approved for construction?"

Frolf needs to be save in bidwell park beacuse it is an awesome sport. The trees are not getting hurt.

As a former Chico resident, I know Bidwell Park is fully capable of supporting multiple uses including disc golf. Sad to say, I'm not surprised to hear this is going on in Chico, where political correctness often trumps common sense.

Disc Golf is a sport which I believe is naturally played within the environment. If they believe this, they why do they have a problem with us playing at Bidwell. As long as we don't litter, the environment is safe.

DISC GOLF NEEDS TO BE SAVED!! ITS A GREAT OUTDOOR SPORT?ACTIVITY AND BRINGS HELLA FRIENDS AND NEW PEOPLE TOGETHER & IS MOST ENJOYABLE!! PORTECT & SAVE OUR COURSES NOW!!

Yesterday I played disc golf for the first time and I had a lot of fun. I am very sad to hear that people are trying to close down the disc golf course. Please leave help the disc golf team keep it nice and let people like me learn what the sport is.

its not like were out shooting squirrels or poluting the rivers, were just playing frisbee

This golf course is a fun place and schould not be closed, I toke a field trip to there along time ago and it was so much fun!!!!!!! SO DO NOT CLOSE THIS COOL DISC GOLF COURSE!!!!

To all you corporate business guys, we're keeping this land for disc golf!

Save the course...it rules!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!

Let the kids play!

My first experience playing disc golf was when I was a freshmman at Chico St., now being a senior I am so glad my old roommate opened up a whole new chapter in my sporting adventures, don't take that opportunity for others in the future to experience

Save the course!!! I graduated from Chico State University back in 2002 and played disc golf alot over my five year stay in Chico. It was a great recreation asset to the students and community as a whole. It would definately be a tragic loss.

Disc golf is a great opporotunity for all ages to get out and be constructive without being dispruptive or destructive to the community.

Save the Course! It's beautiful, and a blast to play.

As a former resident, the idea that a litter-free course would be removed because of impact on the Upper Park while hundreds of litter- and pollution-heavy cars are allowed to drive right to Bear Hole is just absurd. Disc golf's impact is MINIMAL, D o fP

the land used to be grazed by cattle-they were run off. now, its used for a recreational sport (disc golf)- they're trying to run us off. who will they go after next?

What good would the land the course is on be if no one used it? It's there, it's beautiful, so we might as well enjoy it with minimal amounts of damage rather than admire it from afar.

As a college student, I can barely afford any sort of recreation other than Disc Golf. It provides a fun/exercising use of the beauty that is Upper Bidwell. The positive impact on our community far outweighs the nominal bit of environmental damage caused.

What would we do if the golf course were gone? nothing. We'd probably start up another lame band or spend lots more money on gas going to the course in Oroville. Can't we all just get along?

PLEASE do not take away the Chico Disc course! Can you not see how much joy it brings to us and how much effort we have been putting into saving it? We care about the environment too! Please dont let the few people ruin it for us. Thank you! Kevin

The traffic issues are a clear sign that the people of chico have spoken. They WANT to play disc golf. The irony is that, because so many people play, we may loose our course. FIND ANOTHER SOLUTION FOR THE PEOPLE OF CHICO. Outdoor living MUST prevail.

If Bidwell isn't the right place, lets find a new place and the city should help.

If disc golfing is wrong, then i don't want to be right baby.

Disc golf is a great addition to the park. It would be huge to loose it. The park is for everyone to use, and everyone to share.

I have enjoyed Bidwell Park for years and while I do not play disc golf I completely support those who do. It seems that horseback riding (which I also support) causes far more damage. The park is large enough for everyone.

My 8 year old daughter cherishes the time she can spend with me throwing discs, hiking, appreciating flora and fauna, and just being together on the long course(as do I). Please let us keep our special times together at this beautiful location. Thank you.

I started playing disc golf summer '04 and it gives me exercise, competition, a beautiful view and so much more.

I'm saddened that the Friends of Bidwell Park is so opposed to an environmentally harmless sport that brings friends and family together to enjoy the beauty of nature--in a part of the park that is isolated from other, more popular areas.

I support the disc golf course 100%. I have worked in the environmental field for five years and think that the environmental damage is minimal compared to the benefit of its users.

I support disc golf in chico and in bidwell park.

Please support disc golf and give current and future generations a place to enjoy a safe and healthy sport.

Disc golf is one of the only free events available in Chico and supports students and locals to go outside and enjoy nature. I have never seen a cleaner course around. Country Club golf courses aren't as clean as the Chico disc golf course.

Disc golf is a great outdoor activity.

Environmental impact? If that's the case we need to get rid of all the deer that make tracks up there too. Let's get real.

Annie Bidwell did not give us the park to lock up and preserve! She gave it to the people of Chico to enjoy......to use....to get outside...........to stay healty!

A small group of enviro-extremists should not be allowed to hold the community of Chico hostage. Their radical ideology must not be the final arbiter over outdoor recreation opportunities in Bidwell Park. It is a park, let the people of Chico use it!!!

disc golf is a fun, inexpensive, and a great way to get out and walk in the forest, without being an imposition on the surrounding environment.

Save Disc Golf!

I can understand need to reduce the environmental impact humans have in Bidwell Park. But closing the course will not relieve the problem. The city can, and should, accomodate both recreational and envirnmental goals by allowing the course to remain.

Don't take our course!

I don't know where I'd be without disc golf...

Of any course I've ever played, the Bidwell course remains my favorite for its challenge and beauty. I return to Chico several times a year to play and I believe it should be preserved as a crown jewel of the Bidwell park treasure.

There's enough park in Bidwell Park to accomodate all manner of recreation, disc golf not the least of which. Limiting park activities to those that leave each blade of grass unbent, each clearing quieter than a library, strikes me as extreme.

FROLF rules!! Please leave the course for the many people that use it!

I/We have worked over five years to make this happen. Do not take away opportunity for kids!

Please don't destroy one of the few things left to do in Chico that doesn't involve alcohol.

The city should keep the disc golf course for many reasons. It is and always has been kept clean, it gives citizens an outdoors sport activities and promotes a healthy life style. The sport has also become a national sport played all around the country.

the course is great for all ages. Students and families. Its easy to maintain and outdoor activities are important to chico

Keep the Disc Golf Course!!! What a wonderful way for the people of Chico to get out and enjoy the out-of-doors while making little impact on the land. It supports the greater good of Chico!!

Disc golf was the best outlet for me while I was going to school there at Chico State. Made many friends and felt the thrill of competion. A wonderful 'free' activity that all can enjoy. What a beautiful place.

I have had many rewarding and relaxing times on that course and I would hate for others not to have the opportunity to experience the same. Save "OUR" course.

I was introduced to this sport in Chico and it's tough to find a course, even in bigger cities. It's a well known fact that Bidwell Park is a National treasure with everything it offers, don't screw it up!

The chico disc golf course is my favorite one! And I'm a wilderness preservationist and environmentalist! Save it!

Hi Chico Friends! I miss that course! They are hard to find, so hold onto this one!

Keep the course

Keep the disc golf course incurrent location and look for ways to better manage trash and debries left behind by golfers. Trash cans at the sight would be appropriate for the park to provide. In addtion plans to keep the hwy 32 course and create a new

We must support healthy and enjoyable recreation in Chico! Save the ol' disc golf course!

As a parent of two Chico State students I would hate to think of the demise of disc golf. My sons have had many pleasurable hours playing the sport.It's a wonderful outlet for a nominal cost for the discs. I support the sport in Chico

I have been one of many loyal and conscientous users of the Chico Disc Golf Course for many years now. This is a valuable asset to the Chico Community and needs more funding and support.

Save the disc golfing course, it provides so much fun in a place that is naturally beautiful and awsome to visit.

Environmental zealots will stop at nothing from imposing their will upon others. Public lands should be shared by all!

In a town that has been historically supportive of recreation it is sad to hear that one of the most "Chico" activites that takes place in Chico, Disc Golf, is in danger. Keep this Chico tradition alive!

You cannot say that disc golf has more impact than the fairways seen on entrance to upper park. Spread awareness and respect. LITTERING = STROKE AGAINST YOUR HEAD!!

To remove a facility that promotes recreational physical activity is not only counter-productive to todays woefully inactive society, it seems in direct dereliction of the mission of any responsible Recreation Department.

As a life long resident of Chico, I consider the Chico disc golf course to be a healthy and wholesome source of exercise and recreational activity to be shared with family and friends alike, as I have on many occasions. To remove a facility that promo

Chico disc coarse is a great place to escape pressures from classes. Please consider all who enjoy Bidwell Park. It would be sad to lose such a beautiful coarse.

Save our Disc Golf in Bidwell Park.

Bidwell Park is a jewel in Chico. The disc golf course helps people to learn about and explore different areas of the park. Let's keep it that way!

Being a Chico Native, local business owner, and daily Bidwell Park user, I am very interested and excited about the possibilities of the disc golf course located in upper bidwell park. It would be a shame, if it did not continue.Chico benefits from it.

Surrounding communities; Penn Valley, Grass Valley, Truckee, Oroville, Lake Tahoe, Auburn etc. all have at least one course with baskets. Chico does not which is surprising, but even more so is the fact that there is an effort to eliminate this sport.

I love throwing discs. Upper Park is a very beautiful place that is enjoyed by all who play. The city should support diverse recreation opportunities.

Disc Golf anywhere is an invaluable asset to a community and its people. Removing a course should mean creating a course.

There are better ways to resolve issue with a disc course other than removal, lets find one!!

Disc golf is an all-inclusive activity. It is inexpensive, low impact, fun for young and old alike, and is a positive outdoor activity for youth.
