The park has one small pavilion available on a first come, first serve basis, and a larger, 3,500-square-foot pavilion which can be reserved. Other amenities include picnic tables, barbecue grills, a single track mountain bike trail, and restroom facilities. The JMB Park’s main attraction is a disc golf course. For those unacquainted with disc golf, it is played like traditional golf but with flying discs and specially designed large, metal “baskets” instead of balls, clubs, and holes. The flying discs for disc golf are different than a typical, classic Frisbee©. They are smaller and heavier, designed to go further and with greater accuracy. Like regular golf, there are putters and drivers and other discs for in-between. However, even though serious disc golf players discourage the idea, if you don’t want to make an investment in equipment, a classic flying disc can be used to get a feel for the sport. As for the rules, just like regular golf, the goal is to play each hole in the fewest strokes possible, and the player with the lowest total strokes for the entire course wins. At JMB Park, there is a 9-hole recreational course with one pin position, approximately 2,200 feet. The 18-hole championship course has two pin positions, approximately 7,650 feet to 9,150 feet. The course was professionally designed by HB Clark and is located in mature woods in moderately hilly terrain with well-defined fairways throughout. Play on the course is free, except for occasional sponsored tournaments.
