In 1898 the town of Roskilde inherited a large sum of money from the textile manufacturer Otto Henrich Schmeltz. Part of this money was reserved for the establishment of a park that "may not be used for any sport". In 1915, the city used part of this money to buy a piece of land south of the Roskildefjord, which until then had been used for agriculture.

Here the new park was decorated.
