The park is owned by the City of Auburn and is currently undergoing a master planning process. Parks staff is currently exploring options to fund the development of the park into a multi-use sports facility. This undeveloped park property was transferred from King County to the City of Auburn in 2003, and the area was annexed into the City of Auburn in 2007. Historically the site was a tree farm that was owned and operated by the Jacobsen family where they grew a variety of evergreen and birch trees.
