I’m heading out this afternoon for my last game on the old Frolf Course. The city of Nanaimo is home to a world renowned Disk Golf Course in Bowen Park. An incredible nature asset right in the middle of town.
This park has the Millstone River running through it which is its own complete reason for visiting the park:
In the summer there is crayfish hunting and shore exploration with the river being not much more than a trickle.
In the winter it’s a raging torrent all the way to the Ocean just down the way. It’s cascading through the tumbling rapids and some impressive falls, at which when standing there, you lose the impression completely that you’re in the middle of a modern city.
And when the snow sticks (not this year unfortunately 😔) it’s THE tobogganing hotspot for the whole city.
I’ve raised my kids with this park as an important backdrop.
And with my middle son, almost 18 now, I’ve grown him up playing Frolf with me!!
It’s really Lovely to be in a place where I can have this recreational activity accessible year round. The obstacles on the course are different seasonally. I’ve got a clear cool day today and it’s low breeze rn so I’m looking at a stellar last round 🤞🤞🤞
What I will miss most about this course is the tee off on whole 7. It’s the longest hole on the course and it starts at the top of the valley. In the winter the trees in the way are leafless
Will I finally ace this one today? I know I can throw the distance… it’s whether I hit it all perfect.
The new course is going to be very different. And I’m excited to get good at that one. I’ll pine for that hole 7 drive though.
But heck I can always just come here and huck disks from that spot. Heck I can even bring my own basket.
