The following is the section on safety when playing disc golf. (Courtesy Wikipedia).

 

Safety is one of the most important elements of course design and actual play because most courses are in public parks: non-players are routinely found in the course environment. Paramount to the planning of a quality course is the detailing and minimising possible points of interaction with non-players.

 

Because of all of these elements and the importance of each one to the success of the course, seeking out a qualified, experienced course designer will help to insure that all of these factors are kept at the forefront. Discs can be thrown fast and when hit right(mainly the head), could cause serious injury.

 

I didn't know about disc golf being made available at Ruffey Lake Park and it does appear strange to provide such an activity in areas where others could potentially be injured.
