The space has been redeveloped as part of the larger CityScape office and retail project; large portions of the park were demolished as of the spring of 2009.

It was originally constructed in 1976 and named in honor of the fighters of the American Revolutionary War, and redesigned in 1988 by Alexander and Associates, including the parking structure.

In the years between then and the CityScape project, the space fell into slight disrepair and was frequented by transients.

[3] The park officially re-opened on November 4, 2010, with a free concert over two days headlined by Macy Gray and Third Eye Blind.
