Anoka County's Riverfront 13 named Minnesota's top disc golf course

The Anoka County Board of Commissioners held a regular meeting on February 11, 2025, where several key topics were discussed, primarily focusing on the county's parks and recreational facilities.

Parks Director Jeff Perry presented an update on the Riverfront 13 disc golf course located in Fridley. He announced that the course has been recognized by UDisc as the most popular disc golf course in Minnesota, based on an impressive total of 18,654 rounds played in 2024. UDisc is a global app that tracks disc golf participation, and Perry noted that players from 40 different countries have visited the course, highlighting its international appeal. He expressed pride in the course's popularity, mentioning that even in snowy conditions, there were around 50 players enjoying the game.

Commissioner Reinert inquired about the grooming of cross-country ski trails due to recent snowfall. Perry confirmed that the county had begun grooming trails at Bunker Hills, Rapids Dam, and Chamonix Golf Course, achieving a good skate base. He indicated that with a few more inches of snow, they would be able to set tracks for traditional skiing.

The meeting concluded with Perry's report, and the discussion transitioned to other agenda items, with Julie Jepsen set to present next. Overall, the meeting underscored Anoka County's commitment to enhancing recreational opportunities and maintaining its parks for community enjoyment.
