The park encompasses 297 acres (1.20 km2), and was named after the former Mayor of Owensboro, Benjamin W.

The City of Owensboro operated the golf course and park until 1980 when the property was sold to the Commonwealth of Kentucky to be operated as a state park.

The park offers playground equipment, a basketball court, and a baseball field, with the highlight being a 27-hole golf course.
