13 Dec 2021 Free Disc Golf Complex opens in North Little Rock

A newly created Disc Golf Complex celebrated a ribbon cutting last month at Stone Links Park in North Little Rock. The course is free for all ages to play.

“With the growth of disc golf soaring over the past two years, Mayor Hartwick and the North Little Rock Parks and Recreation Department worked with Friends of Disc Golf Growth (FDGG) to bring the project to fruition at Stone Links Park,” said Preston Cowan, avid disc golfer and volunteer with FDGG. 

The new course has four basic tracks, ranging from 5,500 to 9,000 feet, with multiple tee pads and multiple baskets. FDGG provided more than 500 volunteer hours for the project. The project cost the North Little Rock Parks and Recreation capital fund $30,000 and was welcomed by Stone Links Neighborhood Association.

“I have been amazed how many people of all ages play disc golf,” Mayor Terry Hartwick said. “We are excited to provide this course to our residents in the east part of town, along with the other projects at Stone Links.”
