Elver Park Now In

4/24/06 - Elver Disc Golf Course is now in the Ground. Please follow all of the park rules when at the course.

**Remember** the trails at Elver Park are always open to walkers, these trails that double as fairways are NOT exclusive to disc golf, so PLEASE if a walker is on the fairway, wait to throw until they are out of the way.

Trash is a big enough problem, but PLEASE leave glass at home. Glass is NOT allowed in the parks.

*Remember* trash clean up is totally volunteer. If the course stays clean, it stays in the ground. If litter gets out of control, the course is a goner, taken out of the ground, no baskets. Please take it upon yourselves until we get Adopt- a -Hole reastablished this year. There will be an announcement this week yet with Adopt- a -Hole details. Watch for it.

No Dogs Allowed

4/24/06 - This is just a reminder that the Madison Parks Department does not allow dogs (even on-leash) at either Heistand or Elver Park. The City of Madison Parks Division has four off-leash dog exercise areas for dogs so please use them. Click here for Dog Parks in Dane County
