During the 16th century the Park was part of a large country estate with Gwersyllt Hall as the focal point. The hall was eventually demolished in 1910 due to mining subsidence and in 1953 MacAlpines bought the land to open quarries on the Gwersyllt and Llay sides of the Park. Wrexham Maelor Borough Council bought much of the land in 1988 and designated the area as a country park in 1989.
