The beginning of the construction of spa on Palić dates from the second half of the 19th century, when several buildings and bathing sites were built next to the lake.

In 1904, the city of Subotica announced a competition for the construction of a bathing place in Palić, where it was emphasized that the aim of the competition was to raise the bathing spots in Palić to the level of other bathing places of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy.

The project plan was made by architects Marcell Comor and Dezső Jakab in the Art Nouveau style, in the variant of "Hungarian style". New facilities were: Watertower, Big Terrace, Music Pavilion, Women's lido, tavern, buildings where water treatment was done, new hotel with two floors and more. These facilities were completed and handed over to use in 1912.

Later in 1950, in harmony with the environment, the Summer Stage was built in the park, which today connects with the International Film Festival and the Palić Summer Evenings.

In the development of the bathing place, multiple sports champion, Lajoš Vermeš, played an important role in organizing important international Olympic Games with the character of the Olympics since 1880.
