The first nine holes of the golf course were finished in 1927, and the remaining holes in 1930. Designed by the firm founded by Frederick Law Olmsted, and encompassing the Ten Mile Woods the famed landscape architect knew as a boy, Keney Park is the largest park in Hartford, constituting 584 acres in the north end of the city and an additional 110 acres in Windsor. The bulk of the land was a gift from Henry Keney, whose family had a grocery business at the corner of Main Street and Albany Avenue. The park opened in 1896, entrusted to a group of trustees. It was turned over to the city in 1924.
