The park is situated in the heart of the city, delimitated by Mitrpoliei Street, George Baritiu Street, Ioan Lupas Street and the Unirii Square.
The idea of founding a park following the demolishing of the city walls on this side dates from 1869 and was implemented in 1879, along with the founding of the Society for the city embellishing, the park being the first notable accomplishment of this society.
