FALL PLAYBOOK 2021 | BELLINGHAM PARKS & RECREATION Family/Community Events 12 Padden Polar Dip & Resolution Run/Walk At high noon we'll line up for a quick dip in Lake Padden. It's cold... a lot cold – you probably don't want to know the actual temperature. What's important is that you bring a towel, a camera and shoes that can get wet. Do not, under any circumstances, forget shoes that can get wet. Also, some sort of clothing. Think rated G and think dip – not swim. Bonus karma points for style. Lake Padden Disc Golf Tournament Lake Padden Golf Course is testing a newly designed, 18-hole disc golf course which includes par 3/4/5 holes (par 62 total) and features out of bounds, hazards, and challenging design on Lake Padden's front nine. To celebrate its creation, we are organizing a pilot disc golf tournament on October 17th! This inaugural event is designed for advanced skill level players. More specific information will be available soon. Inquiries?
