Local nonprofit Discing4Kids is offering free Summer of Fun events twice weekly through Thursday to introduce families to disc golf and help them develop their skills. 

Baskets have been set up around Bushmaster Park on Tuesdays and Thursdays since July 12, creating a course for kids and their families to navigate with their discs. A bin of discs sits on a picnic table next to free snacks — watermelon, packets of crackers, sports drinks.

“What we do, anywhere and everywhere we go is we take the fun to the kids. We can build a course like this anywhere we go,” said Eddie Diaz, the organization’s founder.

He said he chose Bushmaster Park because he used to play there as a child.







Thomas Garcia, 10, works on his disc golf skills Tuesday morning during a Discing4Kids event at Bushmaster Park.




The day camp’s attendees are a mix of regular participants in Discing4Kids activities and families who happened to be in the park that day. There is no age limit and adult family members are encouraged to participate alongside their kids.

Events also often include backyard games (for example, disc-tack-toe and bowling) that can be played at home, with giveaways of discs and, on special occasions, baskets to eliminate any socioeconomic barriers to the sport.

The two rules for the event are “have fun and be safe.”
