Butterfly Garden at OSU Pott Co Extension
Come see us to view the garden and the abundant life it attracts. In the summer months, many species of butterflies and moths, bumble bees, and honey bees flutter through the garden feeding. The monarchs have been viewed from tiny caterpillars to large caterpillars, and adult butterflies. The chrysalis stage was very elusive last summer; we hope to watch that stage soon.
This garden is registered with the Monarch Watch organization with the official designation of Monarch Waystation #20948.

Disc Golf Course at OBU
Welcome to OBU's 18 hole Disc Golf Course! We hope you enjoy your time. At each tee pad area, you will find a map for that particular basket number. An overall course map is also available.
Disc golf is similar to traditional golf, however, instead of using golf clubs and balls aiming for a hole, disc golf players use disc golf discs and aim for a disc golf basket which is a pole extending up from the ground with chains and a basket where the disc lands. The object of the game is to complete each hole in the fewest number of throws, starting from a tee area and finishing with the disc coming to rest in the basket.
