The park was established through the generous donation of farm land owned by James Baird, a contractor and engineer whose firm constructed the Lincoln Memorial. The park features a Robert Trent Jones-designed 18-hole golf course, a driving range, two picnic shelters, a playground and tennis courts.

The golf course also features a full-service restaurant, Eagles Nest on the Green (http://www.eaglesnestonthegreen.com/). The restaurant and its veranda are available for weddings and other special events. Those looking for a wedding ceremony spot can reserve the pergola located near the picnic shelters.
