The property on which Eagle Point is located was acquired by the city in 1908 due to a donation by a local judge. The park was opened in 1909. During the Great Depression, as part of the Works Progress Administration program the park was expanded and renovated. Architect Alfred Caldwell directed the building of many of the structures at the park, which made a large amount of use of the limestone found in the area.

Eagle Point offers tennis courts, horseshoe pits, playground equipment, a band shell with free music concerts, and a small wading pool for young children. The park charges a one dollar admission fee for automobiles, and a five dollar fee for buses to enter the park. There is no fee for pedestrians. The park's season goes from May 1st to October 31st. During the off season the park is closed to vehicle traffic, but people can park near Eagle Point's rear entrance and walk into the park.
