The Adopted Master Plan for the Meadow Creek Valley includes a 9-hole disc golf course in the area of the park adjacent to the fairgrounds garden plots on Morton Drive. Through the efforts of many volunteers, especially the members of the Blue Ridge Disc Golf Club, the course is now complete and open to the public.

The Blue Ridge Disc Golf Club donated materials, the baskets and performed hundreds of hours of volunteer labor to construct the course. The course was designed by a local resident and provides numerous options for play. Two tee boxes are located on each hole, as well as two baskets. The orange tee box and basket represents the easier option; while the blue box and basket provides a more challenging experience. Players can mix and match as they desire; with up to thirty-six (36) different options on the nine-hole course.

The course is primarily routed through the woods, and volunteers continue to remove invasive vines from the trees along the course and make additional improvements. A bridge over Meadow Creek is in the planning stage and will be incorporated into the course routine, hopefully in 2016. The poles for the new bridge were donated to the City by Dominion Power following a recent undergrounding of the utility lines in this section of the park.

The course is free to use and Parks and Recreation is very thankful to the volunteer efforts of the Blue Ridge Disc Golf Club and others who have made this dream a reality.

This physically integrated dance program will have you moving as you learn modern dance technique, stretch with a partner, get up close with some contact improvisation, and work on group choreography. It is open to adults and teens (14+) with and without physical disabilities of all experience levels.
