Prior to the construction of I-675, this area was largely undeveloped, save for a few residential streets that traversed the current highway land to the north, to the south was once a horse track! On the west side of the highway was a train trestle, now an overpass of the Creekside Trail Bikeway. For decades, Beavercreek High School and Carroll High School students (allegedly) would alternate painting the bridge and concrete supports in support of their school’s athletic teams. The beautiful white home with the green roof on the south side was the center of the 160 acre Aaron Coy farm.
Turn around in the parking lot of Walnut Grove Country Club and return west past the 5/3rd Gateway Park and Ride Facility.
