Something is flying through the air in Richmond Hill — and it is not just frisbees.

 

A proposal to bring a dedicated disc golf course to the city is gaining momentum among outdoor recreation advocates and park enthusiasts.

 

Disc golf is one of the fastest-growing outdoor sports in Canada, with over a thousand new courses added globally in 2024 — the fifth consecutive record-breaking year.

 

Ontario now has more than 90 registered courses, and local demand for accessible, low-barrier recreation continues to rise.

 

The sport is widely regarded as one of the most cost-effective recreational installations a municipality can pursue, requiring modest capital investment and minimal upkeep.

 

With Richmond Hill already attracting competitive players from across York Region, the case for a permanent course is only growing stronger.

“Pickleball got its courts so I'd say disc golf is next in line. Low cost, easy to maintain, lots of interest in the area. Makes sense to me.”

Richmond Hill, Ontario is getting a major boost for one of its most critical infrastructure projects.

 

The Government of Ontario has committed $1,095,000 to the South Richvale Valleyland Sewer Protection Project, targeting erosion along Patterson Creek — a tributary of the Don River watershed.

 

Streambank erosion threatens to expose underground sanitary sewers, risking pipe failures that could discharge sewage directly into the creek. The project will stabilize the banks, improve flood resilience, and reduce sediment buildup — benefiting both residents and the endangered Redside Dace fish.

 

The funding flows through Ontario's Municipal Housing Infrastructure Program, which has earmarked over $875 million province-wide. Construction is underway, with completion expected by October 2026.
