The park was historically known as the 'Castle Park' due to the noble estate that once stood at its center.
It is home to several hundred-year-old specimens of Quercus robur (pedunculate oak), some of which are protected natural monuments.
The landscape design was heavily influenced by the Romantic movement, prioritizing the naturalized appearance of pathways and viewpoints.
The park borders the Danube River, providing a unique microclimate that supports specific biodiversity not found in the urban center of Novi Sad.
Despite its proximity to the urban area, the park acts as an important biological corridor for local wildlife moving between the Danube and the Fruška Gora slopes.
Kamenički Park is the largest landscaped park in the Novi Sad area, situated on the right bank of the Danube. Originally laid out in the early 19th century as the private garden of the Marcibányi and Fischer de Farkas families, it reflects the English landscape garden style. The park spans approximately 33 hectares and contains a significant collection of exotic tree species alongside native oaks and lindens. It serves as a protected cultural monument due to its historical and dendrological value. The terrain is characterized by rolling hills, open meadows, and winding paths leading down toward the riverbank. Several historical structures, including the remains of the Marcibányi Castle, are located within the park grounds. In 2026, the area continues to function as a public recreational space managed by the city utility services.

Bring insect repellent, as the proximity to the Danube often results in high mosquito activity during warm months.
Wear comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes to navigate the unpaved, uneven forest trails.
Visit during the early morning hours on weekdays to experience the park without the heavier weekend crowds.
Do not attempt to swim in the Danube directly from the park bank, as the currents and riverbed conditions are hazardous.
Maintain silence as it is a protected nature area; do not pick plants or disturb wildlife; keep dogs on a leash.
