The state of Kentucky was pushing to improve its public park systems during the late 1950s. A Campbell County public park was voted to be established on November 16, 1959 by the Campbell County Fiscal Court. A five-person board was appointed by the county judge executive, Andrew J. Jolly, Jr, to provide, conduct, and maintain parks, playgrounds, and recreation centers in the county. A vote for a bond approval allowed six new state parks to be built, along with the building of a dam for the construction of the AJ Jolly lake. The golf course opened on June 28, 1962, along with a bridle path and stable with 15 horses. The rest of the park was open to the public in 1963. A park extension was announced and the fiscal court voted to rename the county park to "AJ Jolly Park" in honor of the former county judge.
