Rockwood Central Park is Oregon's oldest (basket) disc golf course.  Originally installed in September 1980, this course has survived numerous "changing's of the guard" (went from being a city park to a county park and then back to a city park) and numerous revisions forced by the continued reduction of the area allotted for the course, as first a new playground area was installed and then later, a second softball diamond was added.

*Rockwood has nine holes, four of which are MACH-I baskets ( retrofitted with double chains), three mach II and two Mach III. Baskets are replaced as needed. We will be bringing all 10 baskets to mach II very soon.

All tee pads are 4' x 10' cement.  The course is mostly green grass fields with many tall fir trees scattered throughout the park.

Although the city has posted several signs throughout the course to inform the public of it's existence, the course is often crowded on warmer days due to large numbers of families and picnickers setting up in the middle of fairways.  There are also public walk-ways meandering through the park, often right in the middle of a fairway, so please throw with care. Remember pedestrians have right of way. An errant shot could cost us all a course.

Being a relatively short course, Rockwood is an ideal place for beginning disc golfers to get their "wings". It's also a good course to practice that ever important short game.  It's close proximity to the city of Portland also adds to it's popularity.  Regular monthly tournaments are held at this park during the winter.  No alcohol permitted.

The course at Portland Adventist Elementary School is almost as old as Rockwood Central Park.  Installed in 1981, the short nine hole course at Adventist is made up of nine, home-made, MACH-I style baskets.  The course is quite short, having been designed and installed on the playground of an elementary school, primarily intended for use by children.

The general terrain is flat grassy fields with some minor terrain variation, with tall fir trees and several thick bushes scattered throughout the course.  All tee pads are 4' x 10' cement and tee signs guide you around the course.

The course is open to public use after regular school hours (after 6:00 PM - Monday -through- Friday).  Golfers are asked to check in with school officials prior to playing the course.  Established in 1982.

As this is private property and made available to the public on a charitable basis, please abide by all posted rules and guidelines.   Alcohol is not permitted on school grounds at any time.  Always leave the course cleaner than you found it.
