[1] Originally a piece of land that was unused and not landscaped, the city of Surrey designated the area as an urban park and was transformed in the mid-2000s.

As the park is centrally located, it has become the focal point of a multitude of events and congregations throughout the year.

The annual Fusion Festival, Surrey Pride, various music gatherings as well as other civic and cultural events have taken place within the park.

In 2010, Holland Park also hosted one of the Vancouver Winter Olympics celebrations during the games.
