The park grounds were once the location of Sumpu Castle, built by Tokugawa Ieyasu (1542–1616) in the late sixteenth century. All that remains of the original castle are some stone retaining walls, the stone foundations of the main tower, and portions of the moats.

Toro Site is an archaeological site of a settlement dating back the Late Yayoi period, some 2,000 years ago. The site was discovered during the construction of a munitions factory in 1943, at the time of World War II. Thanks to the tireless efforts of everyone involved, an excavation was carried out in a short period of time. The discovery elicited considerable attention from academic associations, and it was the first time remains of rice paddy fields from Yayoi period were found in Japan. After World War II, a full-scale excavation was carried out from 1947 to 1950. In addition to unearthing a large number of artefacts such as earthenware and wooden implements, the excavation revealed that the settlement consisted of a dwellings area, with remains of houses, storehouses, and other structures, and a rice paddy area. This played a role in establishing the image of Yayoi people being wet rice farmers.
