Discgolfpark Arjeplog
The group of enthusiasts who have practiced disc golf in the municipality has grown tremendously, but lacks an accessible place to engage in the activity.
About the project
A citizen proposal was sent to Arjeplog Municipality early last spring, but unfortunately received a negative response. Then we turned to ASK for help in creating a disc golf park.
The goal is to create an accessible disc golf park for the public and those who want to try the sport. The course should maintain high quality for league play and competitions with participants from other locations. ASK will also offer youth activities in disc golf and training at least once a week during the summer. We want to engage as many young people as possible in play and movement, regardless of interest in team sports.
Currently, there are a few female players. We believe that we can attract more girls/women to the sport by involving existing players in try-out evenings. We strive to double the number of female players to create attractive league play and enable fun mixed teams in pairs play.
From the Project Application
”Since all foundations within sports are based on a stable youth sports environment, we will specifically target this demographic, both with the help of the course's central location and through targeted visits to schools where we will inform about the sport.”
Purpose and goals
The purpose of the project is to:
attract more children and young people to play disc golf by establishing a disc park within a densely populated area. To create added value for all residents of the municipality that simultaneously benefits public health and the sports offerings.
The goal of the project is to:
there should be a disc golf park that will be accessible to the public as well as anyone who wants to try the sport.
