The park was established in the 1970s. It was built on farmland, and got seven characteristic hills made out of excavation soil from the development of Kroksbäck and Holma.[2] In the 1980s, attempts were made to create a more natural look, and long-lived trees were planted.[2] In the 1990s, ponds were created in the northern part of the park, as well as butterfly sanctuary.[2] It's also home to the world's first undulating football pitch.[2]
In the early 2000s, the park was considered shabby and unsafe, but it has since been overhauled.[3]
The park is mainly visited by inhabitants of nearby Kroksbäck and Holma, and less from other parts of Malmö.[4]
