It’s Facebook official - the park is now home to a little library!

You can find our little library located along the bike trail near the entrance booth.

It was designed to look like a CCC building (Civilian Conservation Corps). You can learn more about the CCC online at https://www.nps.gov/articles/the-civilian-conservation-corps.htm

Thanks!

A big thank-you to Scruggs Concrete and the Big Sioux Disc Golf Club for expanding the tee pad on Hole 5!

The tee pad is now properly angled, giving players the correct direction and alignment toward the basket. The new, larger pad looks great and will be a great improvement for disc golfers!

Thank you again to everyone who helped make this project happen!
