It was opened in 1993 by a man whose son, nicknamed "Boo," died in a car accident. Mr. Rochman bought a 3.5-acre plot of land across from his home and dedicated it as a park in his son's name.

The park is themed D&D because Boo was a huge fan of the game. Builders and painters were hired to construct the fantasy-inspired playground pieces from wood, stone, tile, metal, and cement.
