Local community member and middle school Physical Education and Health teacher Don Winter has taken the initiative to bring an exciting new recreational option to Mosinee by developing a brand-new disc golf course. Designed to provide a healthy, family-friendly activity for kids and adults alike, the course is expected to open on May 7th.
Located at River Park, the course will feature 9 beginner holes thoughtfully laid out to challenge players while welcoming beginners. The purpose of this course is to create more opportunities for young people to stay active, spend time outdoors, and engage with others in their community. The course also provides a safe place for kids to hang out.
"I wanted to give kids in Mosinee something fun and positive to do outside," said Don Winter, the project’s lead. "Disc golf is a great way to enjoy nature, stay active, and spend quality time with friends or family. Plus, it’s affordable and easy to learn."
The project has already received enthusiastic support from residents and community leaders.
The Mosinee PTO, MAAC, and Mosinee Middle and High School have supported this program from the start.
Disc golf continues to grow in popularity across the U.S. thanks to its accessibility, low cost, and appeal to all ages. This course will add to the town’s growing list of recreational amenities and is expected to attract visitors from surrounding areas.
The course will be open to the public and free to play during park hours, but will close during events such as the Fourth of July Celebration, Log Jam Festival, and other major community events hosted near River Park. An opening day celebration (Ribbon Cutting) is in the works and set for Wednesday, May 7th. We welcome anyone to come and celebrate this amazing and exciting opportunity for Mosinee community members.
