The park's meteorological pillar, installed in 1884, was a gift from an army doctor, Adolf Holzer.
The 220 London plane trees (Platanus x acerifolia) were imported from the Janka nursery in Trieste.
It is the first in a sequence of parks known as the Lenuci Horseshoe, designed by urban planner Milan Lenuci.
The central music pavilion was originally displayed at the 1891 Jubilee Exhibition before being moved to the park.
Zrinjevac is technically an abbreviation of Nikola Šubić Zrinski Square, named after a Croatian national hero.
Zrinjevac Park is the first of eight squares and parks forming the Lenuci Horseshoe in central Zagreb. The park features a 19th-century Neo-Renaissance music pavilion placed at its center in 1891. Its layout is defined by formal gravel paths flanked by 220 plane trees planted in 1872. A meteorological station dating to 1884 remains active near the park's entrance. The park is surrounded by prominent historic buildings, including the Supreme Court of Croatia and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It serves as a focal point for city festivals, specifically hosting outdoor food markets and Christmas market stalls. The square is adorned with marble busts of prominent Croatian historical figures set along the central walkway. It was formally established in 1866 on the site of a former cattle fairground.

Visit during the Christmas season to experience the park's elaborate holiday market and illumination.
Look for the small fountain with a weather station near the northern entrance.
Use the free public Wi-Fi access often available throughout the park grounds.
Do not mistake the park for a transit hub; while central, it is a space for walking and resting, not for rushing through.
The park is public and open year-round, though specific event structures like food stalls appear only during seasonal markets.
