DeKalb County’s parks department is funding the project, which is expected to cost $25,000 to $30,000. Daniel Dart, who’s working on the proposal at the parks department, said the agency thought making good use of the overgrown land could bring more people into the park.

The county isn’t paying Ritger, and the course is expected to be maintained by volunteers.

Dart said the course could be open in summer.
