About BTown Disc Golf Club
We are the BTown Disc Golf Club, established in response to community interest to spearhead all aspects of the course development including fundraising, volunteer coordination, interfacing with Parks and Recreation, equipment acquisition, maintenance and design.
We are a 501(c)3 charitable organization, with the mission of creating a multi-use, all-season recreational area at Leddy Park for disc golfers, snowshoers, hikers, and those who just love the woods. Please contact us at info@btowndisc.com for more information.
Below are brief bios of our group’s leadership.

Ben Eisenberg, Treasurer
Ben Eisenberg, BTown Disc Golf Club Treasurer, is a professional fundraiser in the Burlington community. He is an outdoor enthusiast who loves walks in the woods with his wife Molly and labradoodle Maya. Ben’s passion for disc golf started over a decade ago, and he feels very fortunate to have the opportunity to give back to his community through his work on this exciting project.
Adam Quinn
Adam lives in the heart of the busy community waterfront park. On any given day he’ll see walkers, runners, bikers, skateboarders, sailors, boaters, dogs, kites, sunsets, jugglers, and yes, people playing Frisbee right in front of his home. He hopes Burlington residents will continue to embrace our recreational spirit and allow a tax-free, community built, environmentally conscious, multi-generational, and SAFE activity like disc golf at Leddy Park.
Charles Chamberlain
Charles lives with his wife Alejandra Lorenzo and their dog Quazar on Spring St. in Burlington’s Old North End. He is a community professional and loves getting out into the natural beauty of Vermont. After driving to Waterbury for years to play disc golf with friends, he feels it is time to bring this relaxed sport to Burlington without the carbon footprint of the 40 minute trip on I-89.
