This area, once the grounds of a naval hospital and now home to four disc golf courses, was acquired by the US Government in 1942 to build a navy training station. Over the next four years 293,381 men went through boot training here. Concrete pads, pillars, old foundations, and the water tower remain as traces of the training station and of what was at the time the most modern hospital facility in the Northwest. Many of the long narrow fairways were once part of the 7 1/2 miles of corridors that made up the extensive hospital complex.
