Alexander Park Disc Golf Team Challenge

By | June 9, 2010 | Disc Golf, Sports Events | 1 Comment

Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation are holding some “TeamChallenge” events this year. The GDGO was asked to help run the Disc Golf event and found out a bit more about these fundraisers.

The Team Challenges are run by Gwinnett County as charity events to raise money for children and elderly who would like to take advantage of Gwinnett County programs but cannot afford the fees. Disc Golf is only one of the events they’ve planned this summer.

The Disc Golf Team Challenge will be Saturday, June 26. It will be a one round charity event with a start time of 9 am. All teams registered must have 4 people, which needs to include at least one woman, and pay a $50 registration fee (which is tax deductible).

The GDGO is donating 2 CTP discs and minis for all.

There will be trophies for the winners (provided by the county;) there will not be a payout in plastic or cash.

Here is the link for sign-up:

A ribbon-cutting ceremony follows at 10 a.m., followed by free kid’s activities, disc golf demonstrations by the Gwinnett Disc Gold Organization and kite flying demonstrations by Suburban Atlanta Kite Enthusiasts. Food concessions will also be available for sale.

The 91-acre park features Gwinnett County’s second 18-hole disc golf course (the first is located at Lenora Park in Snellville), approximately 1.4 miles of paved multi-purpose trails, one mile crushed stone trail, playground, horseshoe pit area, three pavilions, lakeview piers, an outdoor classroom and restrooms.

“The surrounding Lawrenceville and Snellville community really took an active role in the planning of Alexander Park, from the master planning of the park to the celebration we will have Saturday. It is great to see that level of involvement,” said District 4 Commissioner Kevin Kenerly.

Funding for Alexander Park was made possible through the 2005 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) and totaled $3.8 million in construction costs. The park was designed by McFarland Dyer and Associates, golf course designed by Doug Porter, construction managed by Moreland Altobelli Associates, and the contractor for the project was CMES, Inc.
