Giving Back
Giving back to the community is important. The community is the home that has been built for us, and it is our responsibility to respect it and help keep it up and running. McCollough Park in Muncie is a beautiful place where kids and disc golfers alike can enjoy a gorgeous evening. And I'm sure that there are people who are hired to keep it looking beautiful, but there is so much that the park's daily visitors can do to keep it looking beautiful. If I am playing disc golf with some friends and I see a can sitting by a tree, I should pick that can up and carry it along with me until I find a trash can. If I am walking past the pavilion and I see a park bench that has been flipped over by a pack of wiley teenagers, I should walk over and put the bench back on its feet. If I find a nest of birds that has fallen out of a tree, I should not touch it or crush it, I should let it be so that those birds can someday flutter in the trees and make the park even more beautiful. It is so very lucky that disc golf is a free sport in Muncie, and that gives us even more responsibility to keep the park looking good for the next player who wants to enjoy a fun round of disc golf.
