The park was established in 1911 by condemnation of property owned by Denver mayor Robert W. Speer's Arlington Park Realty Company. Landscape architect and city planner Saco Reink DeBoer, hired by Speer in 1910, eventually designed the park, and landscape work began in 1927.[2]

The park is listed on the Colorado State Register of Historic Properties, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
