Hi Greg,
I wasn't the one behind this, so my info is mostly second hand.
It was proposed when the then mayor wanted a legacy of a music festival and pushed to remove a public golf course for the purpose.

Hi Greg,
I wasn't the one behind this, so my info is mostly second hand.
It was proposed when the then mayor wanted a legacy of a music festival and pushed to remove a public golf course for the purpose.
The land use was sought by a lot of groups and we made a very good presentation to get approved.
Money was earmarked and a design was made.
The county delayed and delayed. Money went away.
A person came forward and offered financial support to the course install in exchange for naming the course in memory of his parents who had ties to the park.
The county delayed and eventually said they were reexamining the overall proposal for the land.
Outreach has happened a few times by a few people.
I have not heard anything more in a while.
If you have interest and some energy to deal with them, please feel free to contact the county parks and rec people. The Disc Golf community will surely support your efforts.
I hope this helps answer some of your questions.

Does anyone know anything about this??? There was a push to put an 18 hole DG course in Oak Ridge Park in Clark NJ about 5 years ago. A friend told me that this was still in the works. Does anyone know the status of it?
