The history of the park began in 1828 when Bartholomeo Festorazzi acquired the Northern Café on the northern part of the region today. On April 26, 1829, the remodeled site was opened to the public at a public festival and in the presence of Emperor Franz I. After the death of Festorazzi in 1835, his widow continued at the festival, but he was to be supported with subsidies.
The work was so unprofitable that it was closed in 1852. The site was sold and had to make room for the hospital. In 1857, the cafe was renovated and reopened as the "Volkswagen Municipal Salon". Linz purchased the site in 1858 and expanded in 1877 to include what is now the southern part by purchasing railways at that time. Later, the site was changed from Volksfest to Volksgarten.
The café was destroyed from 1829, and is already the third generation after the new buildings of 1869 and 1903, partly due to bombs in 1945. In 1950 the Blumau Train Station and the Schärdinger Milk Drink Hall were built.
