Christchurch Disc Golf Club established a Disc Golf course in Jellie Park in 2015. It has become very successful and regularly gets 300-500 players on a busy Sunday.

Disc Golf supports a player’s physical health and wellbeing, providing upper and lower body conditioning, aerobic exercise, and promoting a combination of physical and mental abilities that allow very little risk of physical injury.

Players of limited fitness levels can start slowly and gradually increase their level of play, as their fitness improves.

With the thousands of players that have been through the course, the baskets have been very well used and as part of the course maintenance, Christchurch Disc Golf Club identified baskets in need of refurbishment or repair.

In June 2023, the Waimāero Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board provided a grant from their Discretionary Response Fund to the Club towards the costs of replacing the baskets.

As they remove the damaged baskets, new baskets will take their place so as not to impact on the course usage. Once the repaired or refurbished baskets are ready, they will be put to good use on other existing or new courses.
