The Town of Guilderland purchased 109 acres of land from the DiCaprio family in 2001. The land was used for vegetable farming for over 100 years and is situated within the Pine Bush. In order to preserve the unique ecosystem, the Town designated 33 acres for DiCaprio Park and left the remaining 70-plus acres undeveloped.

Amenities

Construction of the park was completed in 2003 and consists of 12 fields used primarily for soccer and lacrosse games. Volunteer groups, including FC Dutchmen Soccer, the Guilderland Recreational Soccer Program, and the Guilderland Youth Lacrosse Leagues, oversee the soccer and lacrosse sports leagues that play at DiCaprio fields.

The park is maintained by the Guilderland Parks and Recreation Department and is also a popular location for walkers, hikers, and bird watchers.

In 2008, a pavilion and permanent bathrooms at the park were built for use by the soccer and lacrosse teams.
