The area was originally used by Roskilde Kloster as pasture land. The monastery had over 1,000 hectares of land and was one of the largest landowners in Roskilde.

In 1819 the monastery created a park on part of its land. The park contained several artificial lakes that had been created as fishponds as early as the 18th century. The park was created for the nuns of the convent, but was also open to other citizens of the city.

In 1904 Roskilde Kloster decided to double the area of the park. The expansion was completed in 1906 and some of the former fish ponds were re-established here after they had dried up.

Between 1908 and 1923 the city bought about 50 hectares of land from the monastery. In 1934 the city council decided to build Folkeparken on part of this area.
