The park contains rare botanical species such as the Sequoia gigantea and Ginkgo Biloba.
The central lake is one of the few places in Europe where the Egyptian lotus (Nymphaea lotus thermalis) grows naturally in the wild.
The park was designed with a layout that mirrors the geometry of the neighboring State Circus arena.
It is home to an artesian fountain system that undergoes regular maintenance to sustain local water biodiversity.
The park area was historically part of the Tei Lake wetland system before its formal landscaping in the 1960s.
Circus' Park is a historic urban green space in Bucharest featuring a central lake and an extensive collection of rare botanical species. The park surrounds the State Circus building, which serves as a landmark for the area. It was officially inaugurated in 1961 and covers an area of approximately 26 hectares. The central lake is known for its population of water lilies, including the exotic Egyptian lotus which blooms seasonally. Several alleys are lined with secular trees, including Sequoia and Ginkgo Biloba specimens. The park underwent a significant renovation project in 2013 to modernize its facilities and restore its landscape design. It offers dedicated infrastructure for recreation, including children's playgrounds and pathways for walking. The site remains a popular local destination for both exercise and quiet leisure in the Sector 2 district.
The bridge overlooking the central lake provides a panoramic view of the water lilies and the State Circus building.
