The school was bequeathed a monetary donation in 2000 by the Denton and Leora Aldrow family for the purpose of building, refurbishing, expanding, upgrading, and maintaining the area. Based upon the agreement between Denton and Leora Aldrow and the West Valley Central School District, the School District agreed to rename "The Grove" to the, “Denton and Leora Aldrow Memorial Park.” The donation received by the school district was to ensure that it would be maintained in its entirety and in perpetuity.
In 2003 the stone pillars, restroom, picnic shelter with BBQ access and picnic tables, and covered bridge were constructed by Boberg Construction. One of the stone pillars at the entrance of the Park, holds a name plaque for the Park. The access road to the grove was completed by the Town of Ashford. Donations of labor and materials installed the bridge across the creek to the east side leading to the school’s athletic fields by Seven Springs Construction.
