The City of La Porte Park and Recreation Department and Healthcare Foundation of La Porte dedicated the Kesling Park disc golf course Saturday with donuts, cider, music, and of course, flying discs. The celebration drew disc golf players from around the area, both experienced and not-so-experienced, and included instruction and a mini-tournament.
Course designer Brian Cummings.
The nine-hole course was designed and installed by Brian Cummings, a member of the Professional Disc Golf Association Hall of Fame. Cummings has designed over 20 disc golf courses and has played in tournaments across the country. Local disc golf enthusiasts contributed to the design and volunteered with the course installation.
The Healthcare Foundation of La Porte funded the course installation. HFL is a nonprofit, independent, private foundation dedicated to empowering our residents to live healthy and well in and around La Porte. The foundation envisions partnering with many types of community organizations through thoughtful grantmaking to build a healthier community together. HFL is committed to supporting health and wellness programs and services to achieve the vision of La Porte becoming one of the top 10 healthiest communities in Indiana.
