Phillips Park Disc Golf Course in Carrick only has nine holes, but is still a solid place for anyone building their skills to practice.

The Park at Faith Church’s tightly-packed tree course doubles as an excellent city escape where you may happen upon some Penn Hills deer.

🥏 Frisbee

The parks and fields around Pittsburgh are ideal for ultimate players and casual frisbee throwers. Practice your airbounce at Benton Field in Brighton Heights, bring your pickup game to Wilson Field in Green Tree, or test your range at Frick Park.
