As of January 1, 2006, the Office of Parks Bond and Greenspace has acquired approximately 2228 acres for new parkland and greenspace in DeKalb. With funding coming mainly from the Parks Bond Program, and private grant sources (Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation), DeKalb has secured nearly $150 million just for the County parks system. The County has more than doubled the total existing parkland. By spreading the County’s financial resources throughout DeKalb, every community will benefit from the new network of trails and parks.

Acquisitions as of November 11, 2005
