Disc frisbee supporters say their sport is a fun, social and inexpensive, but others say it is too active to be played at Lismore Park, which would be made unsafe by flying missiles.
Queenstown Lakes District Council has received 65 submissions on the issue, and a summary was released last Friday.
Seven submissions oppose the proposal, led by the Wanaka Residents Association.
Association spokesman Graham Dickson, said the park should be used for relaxing, rather than organised sport.
He said the discs would be like missiles at speed and unseen because of the park's contours.
The 58 submissions in support described the fun families and teenagers could have playing frisbee in a location close to schools and the town.
They argued Lismore Park was under-used and the players would become stewards of the reserve, helping protect it from vandalism.
The supporters said the sport was safe, spotters could be used to warn walkers, and they referred to successful shared use of parks by other frisbee groups in Queenstown and in the United States and Canada.
A hearing panel has been appointed to consider the proposal. A date has not been set yet.
The panel comprises Cr Jude Battson and Wanaka Community Board members Ken Copland and Mike O'Connor.
