Boardman Park announces the expansion of its Disc Golf course to 18-holes. An additional 9-holes is scheduled to be completed by late winter.
      The 9-holes will play through the wooded area of the park, located just east of the tennis courts. Each hole is densely wooded and provides water hazards and elevation changes, with two holes playing over McKay’s Run Creek. The natural environment not only provides players with an appreciation of the beauty of nature, but also provides a greater challenge than the family friendly front 9-holes. This will be the only disc golf course in Mahoning County to feature 9-holes through a heavily wooded natural area.
