Palm Coast Receives Florida Planning and Zoning Award
The city of Palm Coast was awarded the “Outstanding Private and Public Partnership” award by the Florida Planning and Zoning Association Surfcoast Chapter. This award recognizes the city’s collaborative work with Mesa Capital Group to bring the Palm Coast Disc Golf Course to life, according to a media release.
Mesa Capital Group partnered with the city to construct the disc golf facility, utilizing park impact fees generated exclusively from Mesa Capital Group’s development. The park will feature nine to 18 holes, restrooms, shade structures, and a parking lot. Importantly, no property taxes from the broader community will be used to construct this park, ensuring it remains a cost-effective addition that is free to play and accessible for everyone to enjoy, the release states
The disc golf park reflects the city’s goal of creating parks that blend naturally with the environment and need little upkeep. In the joint city-county Parks Master Plan approved in 2023, adding recreational options like disc golf was highlighted as a top priority, according to the release. Residents showed strong interest in the sport through surveys and focus groups, making it a key part of the city’s efforts to provide new and creative recreation opportunities.
“The City of Palm Coast is dedicated to creative solutions that enhance our growing community,” said Deputy Chief Development Officer Ray Tyner in the release. “This project fills a recreational gap, enriches the neighborhood, and exemplifies the collaborative spirit that defines our city. As Palm Coast grows, we remain committed to improving residents’ quality of life through innovation. The FPZA award reflects the success of this approach and the dedication of everyone involved.”
