The park is situated on the site of the historic Gdantsevka industrial settlement, which dates back to the late 19th century.
The location previously served as the industrial site for the Gdantsevsky Iron Works, one of the earliest metallurgical facilities in the region.
A significant portion of the park's current layout was established during a multi-phase renovation project completed between 2020 and 2021.
The area incorporates sections of the Inhulets riverbank, providing a natural habitat for local riparian flora and fauna.
The park's design emphasizes the retention of mature trees, blending industrial heritage with modern ecological planning.

It features extensive paved walking paths, dedicated cycling lanes, and contemporary lighting systems. The landscape design integrates the riparian ecosystem of the river with manicured green spaces and recreational amenities.
