The estate's title was once held by Alexander Milne, a Scottish weaver who settled there after the War of 1812 and left in 1832.

[2][3] He sold the property to the Municipality of Metro Toronto in 1955 to become a public park, and it became Edwards Gardens in 1956.

The park's manicured lawns and flower beds make it a popular destination for wedding parties to take photographs.

In 2013, Edwards Gardens won an Award of Excellence under the Regional Citation (New Directions) category from the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects for their sustainably designed parking lot.
