Disc Golf Added A Travis M. Nelson Park In Bratt
February 21, 2023
Escambia County Parks and Recreation recently added two new disc golf practice goals at the Travis M Nelson Park in Bratt.
The 40 acre park also has two large covered pavilions with picnic tables, a playground, seven-tenths of a mile walking track, full basketball court, exercise equipment, softball/baseball practice fields, a little free library and free high speed Wi-Fi.
The park is named in honor of Marine Lance Cpl. Travis M. Nelson, who was killed in 2011 while serving in Afghanistan. A monument stands in his honor.
Travis M. Nelson Park is located on West Highway 4 at Bratt Road, just west of Northview High School. It is open from sunrise to sunset.

This area could really use a quality disc golf course in the area. It is a rapidly growing sport that is accessible to all types of people and ages.
Atmore is reportedly looking at getting one at Tom Byrne. Little River or perhaps areas near the creek at the Industrial Park would be other possibilities in Atmore. Many golf courses are putting up disc golf to help bring more people in as well.
This is a really great park with lots of things to do It’s clean and safe, and the people there are always the nicest folks! The wifi is SUPER fast! I encourage you to check it out.
Now to figure out how to play disc golf? Anybody?
Really enjoyed practicing on these today. I hope they’ll consider adding more in the future. It would be nice if Atmore would do something like this as well. Thanks to whoever installed these. It’s a great addition to an already wonderful park.
