The disc golf supporters were dealt a blow when the city's attorney announced that the referendum was inappropriately filed, lacking a copy of the master plan attached to each page of signatures. Despite this, the City Council agreed to reconsider disc golf in Upper Park. After a meeting on January 6, 2009, they unanimously decided to reinstate disc golf in the area for the time being. The long course will remain in its current location with measures taken to reduce environmental damages, while the short course will remain open until a new location can be found and built.

	+ '''Upper Bidwell Park Disc Golf Course''' is an 18 hole ["disc golf"] course located in ["Upper Bidwell Park"] (although there are supposed to be two extra holes, making it actually a 20 hole course). It is located along the ["Big Chico Creek"] Canyon off of ["Highway 32"]. The holes are not your typical "basket" style, but are a metal cylinder over the top of a pole that the golfer aims for. + + There is some controversy surrounding this disc golf course. There are two groups who have opposing views on the park and whether it should exist. ["Friends of Bidwell Park"] express concern about the environmental impacts caused by this form of recreation. They challenged the ["City of Chico"] in court about the environmental impacts of disc golf, which has halted any improvements on the course until after the review process can be competed. ["The Outsiders"] on the other hand, advocate for disc golf and other ["outdoor activities" outdoor recreation], and are proponents of keeping the course open and improving it. + + Anyone looking to play a round at this course should be advised that there is an abundance of poison oak. The entire course is quite rugged terrain, much like the majority of Upper Park. There are spectacular views of the canyon during the first half of the course. In addition to long pants (to avoid the poison oak), sturdy shoes and water are recommended, as the course is large and can be quite time consuming. + + To find the Upper Bidwell Park Disc Golf Course, drive up Highway 32 toward ["Forest Ranch"]. The entrance to the park is unmarked, but can be easily found on the left side of the roadway when looking for it. The turn is immediately after the intersection with Humboldt Road, right at the Adopt a Highway sign from ["Sierra Nevada Brewery"]. + + [[Comments]]
