Building Stronger Communities with RAD Disc Golf

Building Stronger Communities. Public parks and urban green spaces are more than just land—they’re the heartbeat of a community. These spaces offer opportunities for connection, recreation, and celebration. But too often, they go underused or lack activities that truly engage diverse groups of people.

That’s where disc golf and RAD’s projects come in. Beyond designing world-class disc golf courses, RAD partners with councils, schools, and organisations to create unforgettable community experiences through tournaments and events. From planning to execution, RAD’s expert team ensures every event brings people together, encourages healthy activity, and leaves a lasting impact.

Hosting a disc golf event is more than organising a game—it’s about Building stronger communities through play. Here’s how RAD makes it possible.

Why Events Matter for Community Engagement

Building stronger communities. Events are the spark that turn ordinary green spaces into destinations. They give people a reason to step outside, connect with neighbours, and participate in something bigger than themselves. For councils and community leaders, events also demonstrate a clear commitment to promoting active, healthy, and inclusive lifestyles.

Disc golf tournaments are particularly effective for Building stronger communities engagement because they are:

Inclusive – Disc golf is accessible to all ages, genders, and skill levels. Families can play together, schools can encourage teamwork, and individuals can join without fear of being “left out.” Discover why it’s known as Disc Golf – The Family Sport.
Affordable – Unlike many sports that require expensive equipment or memberships, disc golf is inexpensive to play. All you need is a disc and a target basket. Plus, the Health Benefits of Disc Golf make it a smart investment for communities.
Low-barrier – Events can be casual or competitive, making them welcoming for both beginners and seasoned players.
Social – Disc golf naturally encourages connection. Between throws, players chat, laugh, and build friendships.
