Winter weather means that our facility is a lot busier than it is during warmer seasons. This is especially true after school, on early out days, and non-school days. Please keep this in mind when you come out to walk in the gym. We have youth programs, rentals, and fitness classes that run in the gym which in turns shuts the gym down to public use at various times. Please feel free to call 319-334-6711 to check if the gym is open or when you are in the building you may look at the calendar at the front desk.

GLENS FALLS — The disc golf course at Crandall Park has been used substantially in the past year, according to the 2022 annual report issued by Jaimen Hume.
Hume is a professional disc golfer who designed the course with Jon Hotmer in November 2020. Hume is also a member of the disc golf course subcommittee and supplied the statistics of course usage to the Crandall Park Beautification Committee via email.
The popularity of the course has been measured by the smartphone app Udisc. It helps disc golfers keep track of scorekeeping, statistics and allows for discovery of new courses.App developers told Hume that the rounds played that are logged using the app accounted for about 20% of rounds, or plays, on the course.
“Crandall Park finished out the year at 5,605 plays, up from 4,063 last year, on Udisc. The app developers guess that 20% of players use the app, so that number is theoretically at 28,025 plays! That’s an astounding number and a ton of usage of the park,” Hume said in an email.
