(La Porte, IN) - There was a ribbon-cutting over the weekend for the new disc golf course in La Porte.

Many area residents came not just for the festivities but to give disc golf a try. Mayor Tom Dermody was among the dignitaries at the Saturday dedication at Kesling Park.

“You can see people are out here already playing,” Dermody commented about the early adoption of the facility.

Other officials in attendance included La Porte Park and Recreation Board President Mitch Feikes and La Porte Park Department Superintendent Mark Schreiber.

The Healthcare Foundation of La Porte paid for the nine-hole course.

“This is a great addition to the city of La Porte. I’m sure everyone who comes out here will enjoy it,” Feikes said.

Instruction on how to play and a mini-disc golf tournament was part of the festivities.
