The Thompson Park Golf Course has a new restaurant serving up breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks. DJ’s at the Park officially opened its doors on Wednesday, May 3rd, 2023, replacing Spokes on the Green which operated for the 2023 season.
New Ownership, Familiar Face
The restaurant is under the ownership of DJ Marconi, a lifelong golfer and familiar face in the local restaurant scene. Marconi’s passion for both golf and the restaurant industry is evident in his plans for DJ’s at the Park.
He aims to create a welcoming atmosphere for not just golfers, but also for visitors to Thompson Park and residents of the surrounding neighborhoods.
Menu & Hours
A first for the Thompson Park clubhouse, DJ’s at the Park offers a full breakfast menu including eggs, omelets, pancakes, and french toast. The restaurant will also serve lunch and dinner, with a focus on creating a menu that appeals to a wide range of tastes. In addition to the food menu, DJ’s at the Park will also offer a full bar service.
The hours of operation for DJ’s at the Park are 8:00 am to 9:00 pm, seven days a week. This extended schedule ensures that golfers and park visitors alike can enjoy a meal or drink no matter the time of day.
Community Focus
Marconi hopes that DJ’s at the Park will become a staple in the community, offering a place for people to gather, relax, and enjoy a delicious meal.
With its convenient location and welcoming atmosphere, DJ’s at the Park is sure to be a popular spot for both golfers and non-golfers alike.
Local History Meets Modern Menu
The opening of DJ’s at the Park marks a new chapter for the Thompson Park clubhouse, a building steeped in history. Marconi himself has a personal connection to the clubhouse – his great uncle, Angelo, managed it for several years in the 1980s.
“We have a history to it,” Marconi said. “There’s a bloodline.”
This sense of history is balanced with Marconi’s focus on offering a modern and appealing menu. While details haven’t been released yet, it’s likely the menu will feature dishes that cater to a variety of tastes, potentially including pub fare alongside breakfast classics.
There’s also the possibility of themed nights or special events, drawing inspiration from both the golfing and community aspects of the establishment.
Positive Outlook for DJ’s at the Park
The city council seems optimistic about the future of DJ’s at the Park. Marconi was the only bidder when the city opened applications to operate the clubhouse, and council members believe his experience and enthusiasm will make him successful.
With its convenient location, historical significance, and focus on both community and golfers, DJ’s at the Park is poised to become a popular destination in the city’s south side.
