Nottingham council took ownership of the park after Sir Jesse Boot (the founder of Boots chemists) released the deeds over to them once he had passed away.

The Old Market Square is a pedestrianised square in Nottingham City centre.
In its early days before Nottingham was formed, the area was the centre point between the Norman town of Nottingham, situated around the Castle rock, and the old Anglo-Saxon town which was based around the current lace market at St Mary’s church also called Snothryngham, Snottinghaham or Snottingham.
The two towns were once divided by a wall which is now represented by the stainless steel drainage channel that runs down the middle of Old Market square.
