If you are a disc golf player, you have to travel here. There are 3 courses together in this park…read more There is a clubhouse even though it is closed because of the pandemic. Several practice baskets are set up outside. There is a vending machine. Plus, the pros come here to finish their yearly tour. I played the WR Jackson course and that was the toughest course I have ever played. The fairways are fair but if you get off the fairway, you have a difficult shot over and over again. Holes are extremely long too. It does cost $3 to enter the park then a greens fee of $5. But disc golf is a sport that is better with buddies.

Huge dog area for big dogs, obstacles to climb on, and a lot of paths to walk on leash through. My…read moredog did get bitten by another dog, but they quickly apologized and left. We walked around then came back to the dog park and there was a husky, barking and lunging through the gate. One bite was enough. Raring 4 stars due to the visitors, not the location.

I love the Park itself; the trails to walk, the various pavilions, live music, even tennis courts…read more But if there is one reason I find myself here time and again, it is the Bark Park. Can you blame me? With two furry family members, I am always looking for a clean and safe space they can run around in. Augusta (including North Augusta) only has a few dog parks and this is a good one. I will say I appreciate the natural shade in the warmer months and the bench to sit (for when they wear me out). The space is a good size and there is a separate space for small and large dogs. I will mention that on the large dog side there is a corner in the back where leaves and such have piled up, making it easy for a dog jump out. I saw one dog hop the fence at least three times on a recent visit. Just be cautious if you're on that side. Again, it is convenient if you are spending time at the Park already and at least worth trying out. But remember, please pick up the poo. Just saying.

There's something you must understand about me, something that may illustrate the irony of me…read morewriting anything having to do with "active life." I'm pretty terrible at most sports. And given the option I'd rather just relax. I don't really exercise because, well frankly, it hurts. I see all these people running on the track or down the street and I have think to myself "why not drive? You get there faster and you can enjoy a delicious latte along the way." That being said, I must tell you that Disc Golf is quickly becoming one my favorite obligatory outdoor activities. Point yourself at the hole (which is large pole with a metal basket and a chain-link cage on top. It's the opposite of a hole, that name should change) and throw your disc. Did you miss? Kay. Walk to you disc and try again. Be sure to talk about the course, the wind variance, the deceptive nature of that poplar tree and how many proverbial points you can earn by taking out geriatrics. How fortunate was I to find out that Greenwood has it's own disc golf course? And where else? On a college campus. The course gets a little confusing if you're not a student and familiar with the campus' layout. It's designed to play in small games, with each section in one part of campus. The courses are very nice though, a good distance with a little bit of challenge to each one. I'd recommend this course for any casual player--it's not too bad to start out on, and if you've been playing for a while and you've got nothing else to do on a sunday afternoon (because hey, you certainly can't go get a drink...) then swing down to lander. Some of the most fun I've had for free.

I am by no means an athlete & it is a bit hard to follow, but I still had fun. I slipped in mud and…read moreI've heard of others landing on their butts, too. So dress appropriately.
