Well I don't know about hippies but I am one of those people that play disc golf at this park on occasion.  As far as its status as a disc golf park in Georgia it is not the most technical or difficult for that matter.  I can attest that most of the people that play the sport of disc golf are not hippies.  In fact this park does hold at least one professionally sanctioned event a year by the PDGA ( http://www.pdga.com/ ).  When I introduce someone to disc golf I usually take them here first.  

As far as the other amenities offered by the park the walk/run path is very nice and does border the disc golf course at times.  Playground for children, a few baseball fields, and many other open fields provide lots of enjoyment for people of any age.  Good lighting and good attendance most of time provide a safe environment for anyone to enjoy the park.  With the recent additions of football fields across the street and a water park, this park has almost everything.

I don't know too much about the Disc Golf aspect of the park.  I am sure there are a bunch of hippies that travel to this park and play frisbee golf every chance they can get.  I think it would be safe to assume that hippies like to go to many different parks to play disc golf.  Do you need an actual course for that sport?  I thought it was just throwing a frisbee into a tree or sewer grate...maybe the guys I saw were playing a cheaper version of frisbee golf.

Lenora park is the nicer of the two parks located in Snellville, with the other being Briscoe Park, ironically located off of Lenora Church Rd.  

The quality of Lenora Park can probably be mostly attributed to location specific factors.  For those of you who are familiar with the downtown area of Snellville, near highway 78 and 124, you know how bad the traffic is in that area and how crowded the area can become in the morning and afternoon, any day of the week.  Lenora Park is far away from all this smog infested part of town in a suburban area that has no where near the traffic that the downtown area experiences.

The lack of pollution and heavy traffic leaves enough clean air and serenity to enjoy a nice walk or any other athletic activity at Lenora park.  

The best feature about the park is the cement track that loops almost entirely around the park.  This trail allows walkers, joggers, roller and roller bladers the opportunity to pass by decent scenery like the wooded part of the trail and the some of the activities on the recreational sport fields.

The park is safe for the most part too.  I would not advise walking around the place in the wee hours of the morning, but I would give you that same advice about the driveway at my house.
