Background
Disc golf is a popular sport around the country. There are several courses throughout the
Portland metropolitan area. Through a partnership with the enthusiastic volunteers at Vancouver
Disc Golf and Stumptown Disc Golf, the idea was formed to develop a disc golf course in a Vancouver
park. The professional disc golf association is a good resource of information if you are new to
the sport.
Many park properties were reviewed for compatibility for a disc golf course. Criteria included
easy access from major arterials, sufficient parking, available amenities for users (i.e. parking,
restrooms, etc), and enough open space to add this programmed use without compromising other park users.
Of the sites identified, Leverich Park best fit the needs for the course.
Through active fundraising by the volunteers, meetings with City staff to ensure a safe layout
of the course and persistence, the course came to fruition in late 2008. There were about 30
volunteers working over two days to install the posts, signs and baskets for the 12-hole course.
Volunteers who helped install the course take a moment to play!
Location
Leverich Community Park is just east of I-5 and north of 39th St. in the heart of Vancouver.
The disc golf course starts with the first tee near the south parking lot.
If this lot is full, park near the picnic shelter off of Leverich Park Way and follow the path
through the park to the south end.
The course includes 12 holes that wind throughout the beautiful rolling and wooded topography of the park.

Please respect the natural setting of this park and the habitat areas. Use the paved pathways at

protect this vital water resource.
