Owl's Nest Park was originally developed on a 5.5-acre plot of land at the border of Cincinnati's Evanston and East Walnut Hills neighborhoods, donated to the city in 1905 by Charles and Edward Perkins in memory of their parents' homestead, known as "Owl's Nest." Throughout the 1920s, the site added an additional five acres, bringing its total park space up to 10.4 acres today. Though its estate house no longer stands, the Perkins homestead is commemorated with a plaque, with 16 brick columns preserved from the home's original fence foundation. Bronzed doors at the park's entrance also retain the home's original landscaping, which was copied from the wrought-iron fence located near the Charles River Bridge and Boston's Harvard University facility.
