The Issue

Disc golf is more than just a sport; it's an opportunity for the community of Portsmouth, RI to bring about significant economic and social benefits. As someone who deeply cares about our state, I see this proposed disc golf course as a major positive development for Rhode Island.

Firstly, this course will attract disc golf enthusiasts from beyond our state borders, driving tourism, boosting local businesses, and generating revenue. Hosting competitions here will put Portsmouth on the map, positioning us as a hub for this rapidly growing sport. The influx of visitors will increase patronage at local restaurants, shops, and lodging, fostering economic growth.

Moreover, this disc golf course will offer recreational activities at no cost, making it accessible for all family members. It's a safe and healthy way for kids and families to spend time outdoors, engage with the community, and improve their physical fitness. In an age where digital entertainment often keeps children indoors, a disc golf course presents a crucial opportunity for them to reconnect with nature and each other.

Understanding the concerns of some Portsmouth residents regarding the installation of this course is essential. However, the benefits outweigh any potential drawbacks. The course can be designed with minimal environmental impact, utilizing sustainable practices that preserve the beauty of our area.

By supporting this petition, you are advocating for economic vitality, family-friendly recreation, and community well-being. Join me in making Portsmouth a leading example of how sports and nature can coexist harmoniously. Let's show our support for progress and community enrichment. Sign this petition to endorse the establishment of a disc golf course in Portsmouth, RI and to discourage opposition to this beneficial project.
