The park was established on the site of a former industrial reservoir, which contributes to its unique, non-landscaped character.
Lake Sticlăriei is a natural groundwater-fed basin that has remained largely untouched by major commercial park renovations.
The park is a significant biodiversity corridor in the city, supporting indigenous amphibians and migratory waterfowl.
Its name, 'Sticlăriei', translates to 'Glassworks,' referencing the historic industrial presence in the vicinity.
Sticlăriei Park is a distinct green space in the Titan/Pallady area, characterized by its naturalistic landscape and urban lake ecosystem. Unlike manicured municipal gardens, it retains a wilder, more rugged aesthetic with overgrown paths and dense vegetation. The park is centered around Lake Sticlăriei, which serves as a habitat for local bird populations. It offers unpaved walking trails that loop around the water's edge. The area is locally recognized for its untamed greenery, providing a retreat from the dense residential developments of Eastern Bucharest. Pedestrian access is available from the surrounding streets in the Voluntari/Titan border zone.

Wear closed-toe, comfortable walking shoes due to uneven, unpaved dirt paths.
Bring mosquito repellent, especially during summer evenings, as the dense vegetation and lake attract insects.
Visit during daylight hours as the park lacks artificial illumination along its interior trails.
Do not attempt to access the water or feed the wildlife, as the banks can be unstable and the ecosystem is fragile.
