Dear Supporter of Disc Golf in Golden Gate Park:
On Wednesday, April 6th at 2pm in City Hall in Room 416 (one week from
today) the San Francisco Parks Commission will decide whether to remove the
disc golf course in Golden Gate Park or make it permanent. This is a
decision which will depend in part on how many supporters show up to help
impress upon the Commissioners that this sport they've barely heard of is
indeed a valued source of recreation and enjoyment for us.
We're not sure what the extent of the opposition is, but we do know that it
exists so if only a few of us show up at the hearing you can be sure that
the course will be pulled. That's right -- no more disc golf in Golden Gate
Park. So won't you please join us?
We realize that getting time off on a weekday is no easy task --
nevertheless we are calling on everyone who has enjoyed the course in Golden
Gate Park to make the effort to come to the hearing. It is not necessary
that you speak if you do not want to -- but it is crucial that you show up.
And if possible, bring a friend or co-worker. If there are hundreds of us
there we will not be ignored or easily dismissed.
Again, here are the details:
What: Parks Commission Hearing on Disc Golf in Golden Gate Park
When: 2pm, Wednesday, April 6th
Where: City Hall, Room 416
If you absolutely cannot make it we ask that you take a moment in the next
week and call the office of Acting General Manager of the Parks Dept. (Yomi
Agunbiade) at 415-831-2700 and simply tell whoever answers that you want the
course to be expanded
and made permanent. This will literally take 20 seconds - they will thank
you for your input and add it to their tally of comments for or against and
that's that. We all know what happens when we put things off until later,
so PLEASE make this call TODAY.
Together, we can make disc golf a permanent fixture in San Francisco.
Thanks for your continued support,
