It was created at the end of the nineteenth century in the then fashionable landscape style. Fenced and closed at night, it is now one of the most carefully maintained parks in Warsaw. Founded in 1893-1896 according to the designs of the Warsaw city gardener Franciszek Szanio, it covers an area of .5 hectares. The park is characterized by beautiful, diverse trees.
The pond was created according to the design of William Heerlein Lindley with water flowing over granite boulders and artificially formed rapids. During the construction of the bridge, a concrete girder structure was used for the first time in Poland. The park was initially not fenced. Several sculptures were installed in the park. In September 1939, the park was the burial place of people who died during the defense of the city. In 1965, the park was included in the register of monuments. There are three trees in the park that are natural monuments: black walnut, sharp-leaved maple (Schwedler variety), and pedunculate oak.
