Why Join The Outsiders?

The Outsiders are organizing to build, maintain, and manage a disc golf course off of highway 32 in Bidwell Park. We're looking for members to join the Outsiders and help make this happen. We also need people with construction and professional skills that can donate time, materials, and/or equipment to this effort.

The Outsiders have also been advocating and promoting outdoor recreation in Chico and surrounding communities, and this effort needs your support. Please join the cause to keep the public in our public park system by becoming an Outsider. Print, fill out, and submit the form below.

The Chico Outsiders support appropriate environmental stewardship of our park system and continued public access to a variety of outdoor activities. Our efforts to remove invasive plant species and our support for recreation infrastructure promote the health of our park's ecosystem. Keeping people in our parks, socializing, and taking part in healthy activity contribute to Chico's high quality of life.

Here are some of the activities the Chico Outsiders are involved in.

The Outsiders work to remove invasive plants and educate park users about local wildlife. Activities like leading night hikes to the Chico
Observatory during CARD's Community Campout help introduce more people to the park system.

working with the Golden Valley Bank Community Foundation the Outsiders provided sports
equipment to summer camps, after school programs, and elementary school

By organizing community organizations like the Chico Police Officers' association, Golden Valley Bank Community Foundation, Chico Area recreation and Parks District, and Rotary, the Outsiders built the Sherwood Forest disc golf course.
200 discs were given to children on opening day.

The Outsiders provide introductions to disc golf at events like Girl's Sports Day, and the Community Campout. Simple low cost targets
have been donated to schools as well.

Organizing artistic endeavors helps to integrate recreation with the broader community. The Outsiders work to
ensure that any facility we work on incorporates art. This makes all projects become a reflection of Chico's community.

Events like the Summer Solstice Slam are available to members of the Chico Outsiders who contribute greatly to our efforts throughout the year. This year the Summer Solstice Slam 2009 and the Safari Golf backpacking trip are being planned.
