Our park’s Disc Golf Course is feeling fancy thanks to Vigor Concrete Solutions and Moon Concrete Services! Joseph Herman along with volunteers and company workers spent countless hours planning and revamping Teepad #9 on the course and it is looking better than ever. Thank you to those who donated their time and energy to making a quality teepad for our park visitors!

Grab your favorite discs, invite a friend, and swing on by Monte Sano State Park for a round of Disc Golf! Don’t forget a selfie on the new teepad!

If you spot a little fawn while visiting Monte Sano State Park, consider yourself lucky!

Please don’t approach, touch, feed, or try to “rescue” a fawn. Mom is usually nearby, even if you don’t see her.

Give wildlife plenty of space and keep your distance. Your quiet observation helps keep them safe, healthy, and wild.

Thank you for helping us protect the wildlife that makes Monte Sano such a special place to visit!
