Irish immigrants, Robert and Frances Henry bought the land and cleared the dense scrub and vine thickets from the site.

During this time Queensland Cement and Lime Company (QCL) set up their operations in the area, as the site was a good source of fresh water, gravel and sand.

The council's vision for the site was to "create a significant, contemporary riverside park that showcases the innovative design and sustainable management for the enjoyment of all residents."
