Discovered sometime in 1971, the resort used to be a logged-over area covered only by a blanket of wild grass. Its potential was, however, readily seen by the owners as the property provided an imposing view of Davao City and the Davao Gulf.

Not long after, terraces were carved out of the mountain slope, and thousands of pine tree seedlings were planted. As the pine trees grew it created canopies, allowing other trees and plants to grow and creating a secondary forest. Today, there are over 100,000 pine trees spread in about 80 hectares, providing a refreshing backdrop to the various attractions in Eden Nature Park.

Eden Nature Park offers many attractions like the Amphitheater which can be used for events and also offers a breathtaking view of Davao City and Davao Gulf, hiking and jogging trails that showcase the beautiful panorama of the mountainside, a swimming pool for those who want to take a quick dip and a fishing village on a scenic lake filled with tilapia and hito which can be cooked for consumption. Horseback riding and camping are also popular activities on the resort.
