The country park is a former landfill site which was given to a national charity called The Land Trust by the Homes and Communities Agency in 2012 along with £650,000 to convert the site. Additional funding was provided by WREN, a not-for-profit organisation that gives grants for community work. Natural England's Paths for Communities and the Local Sustainable Transport Fund gave funding to build paths and improve access to Chester town centre, the Hospital and the adjacent Shropshire Union Canal. The park was designed by John Seiler of Cheshire West and Chester Council It was formally opened by Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall(also known as Countess of Chester) in September 2014.
