One of Windsor's smaller waterfront parks, the City purchased the site of today's Bridges' Bay Park from the estate of the late Mrs. Maude Edna Bridges in 1970. After spending $63,000 to acquire the Bridges' property, the City spent an additional $102,000 to acquire two adjoining riverfront properties, paving the way for the eventual establishment of Bridges' Bay Park. In 1991, the riverfront was fenced due to the failure of the breakwall so that passive leisure activities could be enjoyed safely.
A council resolution in 1998 approved the expenditure of $62,000 from the neighbourhood endowment fund to undertake a shoreline protection plan at both Bridges’ Bay Park and Goose Bay Park.
