It was established in the late 19th century by the engineer Carl Constantin Collin, who inherited Huovila manor, owned by his father, Court Counsellor Carl Johan Collin. The municipality of Kärkölä bought the park area in the 1950s. It was renovated between 1997 and 2001, with the aim of restoring its appearance during Collin's years. Approximately four hectares in area, the park includes four ponds, two summerhouses and the foundations of a castle structure begun in 1909 but left unfinished. A 700-metre lane of silver firs leads to the park.
Situated in connection with the part are the Kärkölä local heritage museum and a cafeteria.
