The park was originally called Gilbert's Recreation ground, named after the owner and was leased to Eastbourne Borough Council in 1907. On 30th June 1931 the Prince of Wales (later Edward VIIIth), visited the park and planted an Evergreen Oak. The park was shortly renamed Princes Park in his honour.
