Delafield is experiencing new life outside downtown Bowling Green
After decades of tough times, Delafield is starting to experience a revival. "The Delafield area is an old section of Bowling Green. It's an area that has had a lot of renovation and is growing and getting better," says Lloyd Ferguson, broker and auctioneer at Vetter City Real Estate, who has been in the industry since 1973. This neighborhood is just outside downtown Bowling Green and bound by the Barren River and rolling hills to the north. It has a history as a blue-collar community, with jobs available at nearby warehouses and factories, like the Houchens Industries facility. Residents know that Delafield has been a neglected community in the past, but investment from nonprofit organizations, community centers and renovated homes are contributing to its growth.

The Delafield Neighborhood Group has lodged complaints with the city about odors from the nearby wastewater treatment plant, which ultimately led to changes at the plant to eliminate the smell. HOTEL INC is a grassroots organization that opened a grocery co-op in the community, offering affordable food and sourcing produce from local farmers. The nonprofit also provides classes for residents focusing on financial management, health and job opportunities. Other recent projects include planting trees, providing shade and helping to keep the community cool during hot summer days.

Bowling Green's parks offer lots of recreation
Several parks and natural sites provide plenty of room for fun. "It's rural the more you get away from town. We have the Barren River that flows through our county, and there are some beautiful spots. Delafield is kind of like a downtown suburb, and just past it, you'll see some nice rolling land with trees and the river," Ferguson says. Boatlanding Park has a public boat ramp, making it an ideal spot to start a day of paddling or fishing from the banks. Hobson Grove Park is a large green space on the neighborhood's west side with a nine-hole golf course, the historic Hobson House and walking trails. Residents can visit Roland Bland Park for its large accessible playground, basketball courts and pickleball courts.
