Niskala was a demonstration area for Jakob Kavaleff's nurseries, a demonstration park. Kavaleff was particularly fond of conifers and their special shapes. He acquired seeds and seedlings from abroad and tried them in his nursery and in the tree species park. The first plantings of the arboretum were made in 1905. The area was transferred to the ownership of the City of Helsinki in 1961.
