The park was laid out in the early 1920's as a public park on the initiative of Sir Jesse Boot and to designs by Richard Percy Morley Horder. It is one of the first man-made, large-scale public parks of the 20th century.
The park is open to for public access 365 days per year from dawn until dusk and features a boating lake, bowling greens, croquet lawns, pavilions, historic bridges and infrastructure, adventure golf course, children's play area, cascade and the Lakeside Arts Centre and cafe.
