Gradski vrt je napravljen oko 1750. godine i smatrao se jednim od najljepših parkova u Osijeku. Utemeljen je od strane gradskog poglavarstva, a uređen je u francuskom stilu s očitim utjecajem vrtne arhitekture parka u Schoenbrunnu. Bio je omiljeno okupljalište Osječana i središte društvenog života.
Oko 1950. godine, park je uništen od strane komunističkih vlasti jer su komunisti smatrali da su parkovi beskorisni i da se tamo treba izgladiti nešto korisnije. Zbog toga su izgradili nogometni stadion.
Smatrali su da su sportske i stambene zgrade korisnije i da su to znakovi napretka društva.
Stadion je službeno otvoren 1980. godine, a prva utakmica je bila odigrana 1958. godine između Proletera iz Osijeka i Slobode iz Tuzle.
