The land has been owned by the City of Calgary since 1889 and totals about 4.78 acres. It is the site of one of the first libraries in the city.
The Chief Librarian described the park as "an unsightly wilderness of sand and scrub." Still to be landscaped when the library opened in 1912, it was gradually transformed by city Parks Superintendents, particularly William Reader (who is locally famous for the Reader Rock Gardens), into a beautiful formal park in the late Victorian tradition.
The coordinates were taken at the cenotaph on the west end of the park.
