The park is situated on the floodplain of the Iza River, which flows through the Maramureș region.
It historically derives its name from the traditional water mills that once populated the riverbanks in this area.
The park is a frequent venue for the annual Sighetu Marmației cultural festivals during the summer months.
It serves as a primary access point for walking trails that follow the riverbank eastward toward the outskirts of town.
Mill Garden Park (Parcul Grădina Morii) serves as the primary recreational green space in Sighetu Marmației, situated along the Iza River. The park features landscaped walking paths, extensive lawn areas, and designated zones for leisure activities. It provides a natural corridor connecting the urban center to the surrounding riparian landscape. The site is frequently utilized for local outdoor community events and regional festivals. The park design emphasizes open space, punctuated by mature trees that provide significant canopy coverage. It is a central hub for residents and visitors seeking a quiet respite within the city limits. The layout includes benches and paved walkways designed to facilitate accessibility across the grounds.
