In November, 2000 a master planning meeting was held to allow area residents an opportunity to provide input on what amenities they would like to be considered. A follow -up meeting was held to review and comment on some better defined scaled master plans. The final master plan was subsequently adopted by the City Council in 2001.

The park was developed during 2002 -2003. The park is fully developed per the adopted master plan with the exception of the sand volleyball court.
