この地は江戸時代、旧盛岡藩主南部美濃守の下屋敷として使われていましたが、１８９６年、有栖川宮威仁（ありすがわのみやたけひと）親王の御用地となりました。その後、１９１３年に高松宮御用地となりました。児童の自然教育や健康に深い関心を持っていた高松宮殿下は、故有栖川宮威仁親王の20年の命日にあたる１９３４年１月１５日にこの地を東京市に賜与し、同年１１月１７日に「有栖川宮記念公園」をオープンさせました。この公園は都心にはまれな閑静な地であり、丘陵から渓谷を下り池へといたる地形の変化と、うっそうとした樹木など日本古来の林泉式の修景により高雅な自然趣味の庭園となっています。また、ウメやサクラ、ハナミズキなどをはじめとして四季折々の花も多く、秋にはカエデやモミジの紅葉も楽しむことが出来ます。園内の広場には故有栖川宮熾仁（ありすがわのみやたるひと）親王の銅像があります。
