The park hosts a permanent disc golf course that is regularly used for official tournaments sanctioned by the Australian Disc Golf association.
The course layout is specifically designed to utilize the existing landscape and trees to provide varying levels of difficulty for players.
The site is maintained as a public space but relies on a strong local volunteer base for the upkeep of disc golf baskets and fairways.
It remains one of the primary hubs for the sport of disc golf within the Hunter Region.
Jesmond Park serves as a multi-use community space in Newcastle, distinguished primarily by its permanent 18-hole disc golf course managed by the Newcastle Disc Golf club. The terrain features rolling grass fields interspersed with mature trees that function as natural obstacles for disc golf players. The park includes open recreational areas suitable for passive leisure and informal sports. It is situated adjacent to the local commercial corridor, providing easy access to amenities. The layout is designed to accommodate both competitive disc golf tournaments and standard public park usage.
The elevated tee pad areas provide a clear vantage point overlooking the course layout and the surrounding parkland.
Bring your own disc golf equipment, as there are no on-site rental facilities.
Check the Newcastle Disc Golf social media pages before arriving to ensure the park is not booked for a private tournament.
Wear sturdy footwear suitable for walking on uneven grass fields.
Walking directly across the fairways without checking for active players; avoid visiting during extreme wet weather as the fields can become muddy.
Yield to disc golf players actively throwing on the fairways; do not stand in the trajectory of the baskets.
