When the Southport community was developed in 1985, parcels were set aside to create parks. The area that is now KFQD Park was originally a class C wetland used as a dumping area for fill. The area was graded flat in 1992.
The neighborhood partnered with KFQD radio station to plant trees and install bollards around the area. The park was named after KFQD in 1994. The park was turned over to the city in 1997.
