According to an article in the Daily News dated Sept. 2, 1933, a former Bowling Green citizen and regionally known gardener came to Bowling Green to survey plans for a new area to be a designated park in the Covington area.

While visiting the site, he was pleasantly surprised by plans for the park, exclaiming that he “had no idea such a beautiful project could be possible in Bowling Green.” The park would become Covington Woods and would include the 9-hole golf course now known today as the Paul Walker Golf Course.
