Disc Golf Course

The Memorial Park Disc Golf Course started with 9 holes in 2004 and was expanded to 18 holes in 2007. The course stretches almost 6000 feet through open grassy areas and rolling hills. There are no fees to use the course, however donations are encouraged at the first tee to help with maintenance and course improvements.

Players are asked to respect other activities (especially concerts and weddings) that may be occurring in the park throughout the year. The first hole starts just across the creek from the dog park on E. Tuscola, approximately ½ mile east of Main St.

What is Disc Golf?
Disc golf is played much like traditional golf. Instead of a ball and clubs, players use a flying disc similar to a Frisbee®. The sports share the object of completing each hole in the fewest number of strokes. In disc golf, a disc is thrown from a tee area to a basket-type target which is the "hole". As a player progresses down the fairway, he or she must make each consecutive shot from the spot where the previous throw has landed. Trees, shrubs, creeks, and terrain changes provide challenging obstacles for the golfer. The hole is completed when the "putt" lands in the basket.

Hund Platz Dog Park

A playground for your dog to exercise and have fun

This is a ½ acre fenced area that is designated for dogs to run off-leash. It was built in 2006, and was completely funded by donations. It is located in Memorial Park on E. Tuscola Rd., approximately ½ mile east of Main St. (map 624 E. Tuscola). In the park there are benches and dog agility equipment. Visitors should bring their own water.

We are still accepting donations to be used toward improvements to the dog park. If you are interested in donating please make checks payable to: City of Frankenmuth, Memo: Dog Park. Thank you!

Rose Garden

The Rose Garden was constructed in Memorial Park in 1965 and dedicated in honor of our Sister City, Gunzehuasen, Bavaria, Germany in 1969. It is a symbol of the friendship between the people of Frankenmuth and the land of our forefathers. It is used frequently for wedding ceremonies.

If wedding plans are in your future, this is a great location to consider for an outdoor wedding. The Rose Garden is secluded in Memorial Park with beautiful landscaping, florals and plenty of picturesque photo opportunities. If you are interested in using the Rose Garden for a wedding ceremony please visit our reservations page.
