The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
200 feet per side.. Seems symbolic as a demonstration of Peace and Friendship but can also be symbolic as a flying disc that is under control and going, with great care, from one hand into another hand.. as it should.
But here is why it could also be more deeply symbolic to the world.. (and we don't even know it!..) t is because the organization UNICEF, for the last ten years or so, have been connecting Frisbee play with the PE part of their School in A Box program. Which goes in AFTER A DISASTER, and brings the school up to par for a few weeks with all the materials donated by UNICEF. Millions of foreign children have seen the FRISBEE flying in their life, right after a disaster.
See the link to the articles about how man children have been introduced to the Frisbee as a symbol and tool for peace, friendship and exercise. Contains links to articles about UNICEF and Marines use of Frisbee

Another universal symbol of peace after a disaster, the dove. Would it be really any different, if an expert dove handler, released a beautiful single white dove, that flew straight across into the hands of another handler? Back and forth, bridging the span there a few times?
@MonTTy (no griplock would be allowed, man!)

Not being a "nay" person,just move the thought to an acceptable piece of land..Central Park or perhaps a demo on one of the Avenues surrounding the old "Towers" area.Probably need a permit,but that would be more possible.
