This is a small park with military aircraft on display. When I was there, they had three airplanes, but a fourth was due to be installed in June 2013. All the aircraft have very informative signs, and all are extremely well restored.
The special thing about these aircraft is that they are all connected with Kentucky, through their pilots (some...

Nice little aviation park....four planes, I think, at this time, but WELL maintained, and nice to take the kids to. Has some history attached due the planes, or like aircraft, being flown by residents of the area.

Who would expect to see fighter jets next to a town sports park! You don't have to go to an aviation museum to see fighters. This tribute to military flyers from Bowling Green and western Kentucky was opened in 2007 and is growing slowly, plane by plane. There are currently 3, with space for at least 3 more. The planes...

Cool little spot situated at the park. It's 2 parked jet planes. There is some readable info and even a radio feed you can tune in to. If you're from out of town and not in to jet planes I wouldn't go out of my way to check this one out. The park itself on the other hand is awesome!

3 well kept vintage jets with room for more. It is perfectly placed for kids to run in the park if dads want to linger and read. The radio explanation is a nice touch.

As a Viet Nam vet I think an addition of a Huey helicopter would help complete our aviation history of the last 50 years or so. Unless of course you coould find a way to get a Blackhawk or an Apache. Helicopters have become very important to our military.

The earlier review does accurately describe the attraction, but as a native I want visitors not to be let down by any aspect of their visit to Bowling Green. At present the park consists of two parked former fighter jets. You can look at them and review some information about their history and connection to the city. Obviously, the attraction...

The Aviation Heritage Park has only been around for a couple of years and only has two planes (with a third soon to come).
The aviation park is located in a nice park (Basil Griffith) with a small lake and restrooms a short walk away.
The idea of the park is very cool. You have retired military planes that have...
