About

Regional Park Auburn Disc Golf Course is a sprawling community park that offers something for every family member.

  • Multiple playground areas with modern equipment for different age groups

  • Well-maintained walking trails for family nature walks
  • Shaded picnic areas with tables and BBQ facilities

Pro Tips

  1. 1.Bring your own discs or pick up inexpensive starter discs at local sporting goods stores - the course is free to play and doesn't require reservations
  2. 2.Visit the playgrounds first thing in the morning during summer months before the Auburn heat kicks in, then try a few disc golf holes in the shade
  3. 3.Pack a picnic and claim one of the covered picnic areas near the playground to make it a full-day adventure
  4. 4.Start with just 6-9 holes if you have younger kids - you can always come back to complete the course as they build stamina
  5. 5.The park gets busy on weekend mornings with league play, so weekday afternoons are ideal for beginners learning the ropes

Best Time to Visit

Weekday afternoons or weekend late afternoons offer the best experience for families. Spring and fall provide the most comfortable weather for outdoor play, and you'll avoid the weekend morning disc golf league crowds. Early evening visits (5-7 PM) are perfect in summer when temperatures cool down.

What to Know

The park is free to enter with ample parking available off Richardson Drive. Restrooms and water fountains are available on-site, but bring snacks as there are no food vendors within the park.

Seasonal Notes

The park is open year-round with beautiful fall foliage and mild spring weather being especially pleasant. Summer months can be hot (bring sunscreen and plenty of water), while winter occasionally brings light rain. The disc golf course may be muddy after rain, so check conditions before planning a disc golf session.

Nearby Eats

Head to Carpe Vino (1.5 miles away) for family-friendly Italian fare with a kids menu, or stop by In-N-Out Burger on Auburn-Folsom Road (2 miles) for a quick, kid-approved meal after working up an appetite at the park.
