It originally belonged to the Columbia Circle developed by Puyi Real Estate, and the three existing historical buildings in the park - the Columbia Country Club, Navy Club and its affiliated swimming pool, and Sunko Villa - were built at that time. At present, the industrial buildings scattered in the park are designed and constructed by the Shanghai Institute of Biological Products, which worked and produced here in the 1950s.
