New disc golf course breaks ground at Pronghorn Park, boosting recreation options
A ceremonial groundbreaking was held December 1, 2025 for a new disc golf course at Pronghorn Park, marking the start of a community driven park improvement that aims to expand recreation and youth programming. The project is expected to increase park use, provide volunteer opportunities, and deliver modest local economic benefits for Douglas County residents.
City officials and community groups gathered at Pronghorn Park on December 1, 2025 to mark the ceremonial start of construction for a new disc golf course. The event signaled a coordinated effort between municipal planners and local organizations to broaden outdoor recreation offerings inside the park and to create structured opportunities for youth engagement.
Organizers described the project scope as focused on course construction, site preparation and associated park amenities to support players and programming. Officials outlined a series of timeline milestones for the work and said they will share details on permitting, phased construction windows and volunteer build days as the schedule is finalized. Residents were invited to provide input and to take part in future volunteer build days to help install course features and pathways.
Planned community benefits include expanded recreational options for residents of all ages, new youth programming that can partner with local schools and nonprofits, and increased everyday use of Pronghorn Park. From a local economic perspective, the course is likely to generate modest increases in park related foot traffic that can support nearby businesses on weekends and during tournaments. Volunteer labor and community partnerships are expected to lower development costs and accelerate completion relative to a fully contracted build.
The project also fits into broader trends in municipal park investments that favor low cost, high participation amenities. Disc golf requires smaller capital outlays than many traditional sports facilities while attracting repeat visits and informal programming. For Douglas County this means a potentially efficient addition to the local recreation portfolio, one that enhances quality of life and offers organized opportunities for youth activity.
City officials and the community groups involved will continue to solicit public input as work proceeds. Residents seeking to participate should watch for announcements of volunteer build days and public meetings where specific timeline milestones and opportunities for involvement will be posted. The ceremonial groundbreaking on December 1 marked the start of that community collaboration and the first visible step toward a new recreational asset for Pronghorn Park.
