Seneca Council Approves New Disc Golf Course

(KMZA)--The Seneca City Council has approved the installation of a new-9 hole disc golf course at Skoch Park.

City Recreation Director David Hutfles told the Council Wednesday evening that a group of local residents has offered to purchase the equipment needed for the baskets for the disc course, and an Eagle Scout is considering installing the baskets as a project.

The Council gave their approval for the disc course on the condition they can see a completed diagram of the course before the work begins in the fall.

Disc golf is just like regular golf but uses discs and baskets instead of golf balls and clubs.

In other action, Seneca Chamber and Downtown Impact Director Kylie Luckeroth gave a presentation on a K-State Research and Extension program called “ First Impressions” that allows a community to learn about its strengths and shortcomings through the eyes of first-time visitors.

A team of volunteers from a town of similar size to Seneca would make an unannounced visit to explore the city’s residential, retail, and industrial areas, plus schools, government locations and points of interest.

A team of volunteers from Seneca would then make a similar visit to another town involved in the program.

The results of the visit are provided in a written report as well as a community presentation.

Recommendations are designed to identify ways a community can improve itself.

The Council approved participation in the free program.
