Well done exhibits. The a/c on display looked just about brand new. Well worth the stop off the interstate. Please if you can leave a donation.

Very cool to see the relics of past wars up close and personal. Each plane has a story attributed to it connected to a local WKU, UK, or UL graduate.cant wait for the museum to be built here in the future. Was just riding by and had to stop. Highly recommended to any history buff.

Stumbled upon this park while looking for a place to kill time while traveling and meeting folks. Really nice display of out of commission military aircraft and history about each one and the pilots who flew them. Also enjoyed a peaceful sit by the lake watching people fish and kayak.

Great place to reflect on how our small part of the world is connected to, and can affect the world as a whole. The planes are awesome too.

Really cool little “park”. No entrance fee or personnel of any kind, just park and walk a few feet to see some awesome old aircraft and read some history. It’s right in a little neighborhood and also beside some tennis courts and a lake.

It is a very nice and interesting place, they have new additions to their collection. The park used to be bigger but now they made a road in the middle of it so there is less space to play and run, however it seems that the improvements are not totally finished so lets wait to see gow it looks at the end.

Very cool outdoor park with a group of aircraft and helicopters on static display: Marine One, F9F Panther and trainer version of the P-80 from Korean War fame; F-4, F-111, and Huey from the Vietnam era; and a T-38 used by NASA astronauts.

The museum will increase the interest level, once built. Meanwhile, the park has several nice planes/jets and a helicopter. A quick visit for aviation enthusiasts and children.

Review №18

Just simply a really cool park to walk around and see some one of a kind military/Nasa aviation. Youll need about a half hour. Well worth a stop.

Fun free place to come check out. Love the fact that they have stories attached to each aircraft reassembled here!Cons: I would like to see more color when it comes to their plants and flowers. It would help make this place more noticeable and a place where people from all ages would appreciate.Would like to see more events hosted on the weekends especially during the summer time.

My son loves planes and he is 6yrs just seeing them he said when he grows up he will fly a plane for the Navy or Airforce

Its a nice place for the kids to play seems peaceful with the wind blowing through the trees. There isnt and shade for the kiddos on park equipment. I would suggest to bring sum screen. On the other side of the road is water where one could feed the ducks. Signs prohibit feeding the ducks, so bring plenty of quarters as there are food despencing machines that spit out around one hand full of appropriate duck food. Defiantly will I bring the children back. I do like how the 2 sides are seperate and may consider the little picnic spot next to the water a good place to relax without children as well.

This organization is doing great work towards the preservation of historic aircraft. The quality of the planes on display and the special history behind each of the actual airfames made it extra special.

Visited with my sons, ages 6&3, they were amazed by the size of the aircraft on display, and kept wanting to measure themselves against them. We had a wonderful time, although there is not much to do, it is still a fantastic place to experience.

A small display of decommissioned military aircraft. The inside museum portion was not yet completed at the time we visited. It can get extremely hot here during summer months as their is no shade and a vast amount of black top parking. This is a quick 10 or 15 minute excursion.

Nice place. Only thing odd was the Huey had air force data marking on the side and us army marking on the tail. All in all the aircraft were in excellent condition and arranged nicely. If you like old military aircraft its worth stopping to see it. Good photo opportunity!

Unexpected find while searching for a playground in Bowling Green. The sure currently has several planes and one helicopter on display with international signs for each. There seems to be plans to build a full museum in the sure at some point. Well worth a 10-15 minute stop if youre in the area. There was no charge for looking at the planes, but a donation box was available to raise money for the museum.

Its a really cool feature in the city. Weve got a helicopter and space shuttle and an f11. My niece and nephew really loved it. My son is obsessed with the helicopter. Even I find myself awestruck at how big these aircrafts are. Id recommend stopping by...and after youre done you can feed the ducks or take the kids to the park.

Nice displays with good information on each aircraft. Great background info on the local pilots of those aircraft. Only 3 stars because there are only 5 aircraft, but maybe thats just my bias, since I work about 3 miles from the National Museum of the Air Force.
