The ground to the west was Singapore's first racecourse, laid out in 1842. Racing moved to Bukit Timah in 1933, and the open space was named Farrer Park in 1935 after Roland John Farrer, a former president of the Municipal Commission.
During the centenary celebrations of February 1919 the old racecourse served as an airstrip.
