On the opposite side of the park, a new disc golf course will expand opportunities for outdoor recreation, and build upon the success of the existing Orange County Disc Golf Course (OCDGC) in the Lee Industrial Park. Since its opening in 2019, the OCDGC has attracted heavy use, including multiple sold out events. It enjoys a 4.2 rating on UDisc (a popular score-keeping app) from more than 430 ratings! The current open-field course was designed with beginners and families in mind, but the Mountain Track Disc Golf Course has a distinct character and will present intermediate and experienced players with a greater challenge. It is an 18-hole course with two tee options per hole. A heavily wooded layout restricts throw opportunities and rewards careful placement. Beyond the trails and course, Mountain Track will also feature a rentable picnic shelter and a playground. Shelter rentals at both Barboursville and Unionville Community Parks are popular; during some summer months, weekends are entirely booked. They provide affordable options for those interested in hosting birthday parties, reunions, and other small gatherings. A new rental shelter at Mountain Track Park will create another option for renters while relieving some of the booking pressure at the other parks. Attendees at the September 23 event will be able to receive a commemorative disc and park sticker (examples pictured above), while supplies last. We look forward to welcoming you to this new recreational resource!
