Edmonton Urban District Council acquired 37 acres of land in order to provide recreational facilities for the growing population of the area as it became increasingly built up. The site was previously used for brickworks, which was a major local industry until the 1970s. Many of the surrounding houses were probably built from local bricks. Jubilee Park was planned to commemorate King George V's Silver Jubilee in 1935 but in the event the park did not open until 1939, after the King's death.
