The park was designed by Leon Danielewicz and Stanisław Zadora-Żyllin as part of the 'Żoliborz Oficerski' residential development.
Its topography features preserved steep slopes, which are remnants of the defensive glacis once surrounding the 19th-century Warsaw Citadel.
It is one of the few urban parks in Warsaw that retains visible traces of 19th-century military engineering in its terrain profile.
The park is named after Stefan Żeromski, a prominent Polish novelist who lived nearby in the 1920s.
The statue 'Girl with a Dove' was re-installed in the park after being moved to other locations during the post-war period.
Stefan Żeromski Park is a historic 6-hectare public park located in the Żoliborz district of Warsaw. Established in 1925 on the site of the former Alexander Citadel's outer fortifications, the park maintains remnants of historic earthworks. The park features mature chestnut and linden tree stands that provide significant canopy coverage. It is home to the notable sculpture 'The Girl with a Dove' by Stanisław Jackowski, placed centrally within the park grounds. The layout emphasizes geometric paths and preserved topographical undulations from its military past. A dedicated playground area serves local families, while the perimeter remains heavily landscaped with ornamental shrubs. The park functions as a green buffer between residential Żoliborz and the surrounding infrastructure.
