The park is named after the photographer-explorer Alfred Bertrand. His family acquired the estate in the 19^th century and his widow donated it to the City of Geneva in 1940.

The property dates back to the 17^th century. Champel was then outside the city walls, a sinister countryside where political opponents were executed and "witches" were burned. 

At the end of the 18^th century, the neighborhood became more upscale as wealthy families moved in.
