History of the park began to emerge in the late 19th century. In 1886, when the estate was bought by the Count dynasty Larisch-Monnich, and in Bohumín at that time lived about 8,000 inhabitants. Due to the development of industry, the streets were growing rapidly and began to displace the original green. In place of the current park there was wild, swampy forest of Šunychel, where the Count Henry Larisch-Monni, then the Silesian provincial governor, had founded a pheasantry to form a green belt around the growing industrial community. Nevertheless in 1907, the local council decided to build a monument devoted to the Emperor Franz Joseph I. as for the 60th anniversary of his accession to the Austrian- Czech-Hungarian throne. The idea was also supported by Count Jindřich, therefore the city was donated the first part of the peasantry to form a park that would be a worthy place for the Emperor's monument.

The foundation stone was laid in the park in 1907 and is keeping its original location till today. Visitors can see it at the entrance of the park from the corner of Štefánikova and Jan Palach streets. In the course of two years, the pheasantry turned into an English park. There were raised both wooden garden restaurant and a wooden bandstand across . Both of these buildings are standing on the sites basically till today, just a bit modified. Approximately at the same place where the monument of Petr Bezruč  is currently placed, in December 1908 was unveiled a monument devoted to the emperor. However, it did not take a long time and  in 1918, after the establishment of the independent Czechoslovakia, it was removed. In 1925, in the very center of the park, it was replaced by the World War II memorial. Another monument  located nearby is dedicated to the Polish ophthalmologist  - Louis Lazarus Zamenhof, a founder of the artificial language Esperanto. During the World War II. the monument was destroyed, but in 1947 it was again restored. The bust of Petr Bezruč was unveiled in the park on 15th September, 1947, as for  the poet's eighty birthday. On this occasion the park received its current name according to the Silesian bard. Consequently, the second part of the "wild" pheasant rebuilding started and was turn to the current Hobbypark. This part was bought by the city from the Count's family in 1921 for one million crowns and a sports center was intended to be established there. Plans, however, failed due to the World War II. and vast damages were caused even in the first part of the park and it was the abandoned. Nevertheless, after the war  both parts were cultivated again.

In the first part a small zoo with deer, roe deer, golden pheasants and peacocks was established. In 1958, the ZOO was shut down, nevertheless today we can enjoy bird aviaries, which are its remains. A bit later the park received public lighting and concrete paths exchanged those slag ones. In 2012, some of them got a new surface and about 400 meters long circuit for in-line skaters was created. In the second part of the park a summer theater grew in 1964 and so that building of a leisure time complex started that was completed in 1987. In 1999, a gradual recovery of Hobbypark was completed where new attractions for children were added. In 2005, the summer theater area was reconstructed by the town and  in 2010, children's playground emerged in Hobbypark .
