Portland recently installed a nine-hole disc golf course at Payson Park thanks to the efforts of a local group that volunteered its time to clean up the course and add physical features.

Adam and Mae McHugh, of Scarborough, and Matt Carroll, of Portland, run Joyswich, a group for disc golf enthusiasts. They had sought to build a permanent course in Portland and initially looked at trying to create one in Deering Oaks.

The Portland Department of Parks, Recreation, & Facilities, however, suggested Payson Park as a more logical choice.
