Shenantaha Creek Park, Malta NY

Post by Jeff Wiechowski »

With the completion of Blatnick, I needed a new project.....
Found a park just 2 miles from home
55 acres
Good mix of open meadows and woods.

Met with the Parks Director last Monday and we walked and talked in the park for 90 minutes. She is on board. Apparently her predecessor wanted a disc golf course but didnt know who to contact to get the wheels rolling.

Met up with a Town councilman last Friday to walk and talk the park with him. He also happens to be a former co-worker that saw me promote, design and install an employee course at General Electric HQ. He is also on board.

Tuesday i met with the Town Supervisor, Parks Director & a Town Councilman about the new course proposal......... got lots of positive feedback and an invite to formally present the idea to the Council.
Also invited to the Annual Community Day event and to hold a separate clinic.

We are also going to setup a temp 9 hole for a club monthly on June 30th

The 9 hole temp course was a success!!

We are invited to the 30th Annual Malta Community Day (9/8) at the park. We will have a putting green and a short course setup to show the locals.
