Project EverGreen and its partners transformed 150,000 sq. ft. of Minnesota’s Belle Plain’s Court Square Park into a six-hole disk golf course.
Project EverGreen worked with the Belle Plaine Park Board and City Council, Belle Plaine Chamber of Commerce and Belle Plaine High School FFA.
The sport uses a Frisbee instead of a golf ball and challenges players of all ages to hit targets – either a basket or object target – to complete a hole.
The transformed green space renovations, which are valued at more than $4,000, will provide a outdoor recreation option. The initiative included weed control and fertilization; aeration of the playing surface; installation of new plant material including red osier dogwoods and burning bushes; and general clean-up of the green spaces at each of the facilities.
Minnesota green industry volunteers supporting the Court Square Park project included Genesis Coop, Town & Country Hardware, Turfco and Gardner & Gardner Communications.
