Dr. Chapman was a State Senator from 1929 to 1963 and very active in civic affairs. Many community groups were instrumental in creating this popular area. The first land for the park was acquired in 1949, and, shortly thereafter, a dam was constructed near the site of an old earthen dam that formed what was known as Bucher Mill Log Pond.
