The park is named after Andrej Hlinka, a significant 20th-century Slovak political leader and Roman Catholic priest.
The park is located directly adjacent to the Ružinov District Office, making it a frequent site for municipal ceremonies.
The central water feature underwent extensive reconstruction to improve circulation and aesthetic appeal for residents.
It is one of the few urban parks in Bratislava designed specifically to integrate with the surrounding Brutalist-era residential architecture of the Ružinov housing estate.
Park Andreja Hlinku serves as the central green lung of the Ružinov district in Bratislava. The park features a prominent central fountain that serves as a visual focal point for the surrounding pedestrian walkways. Its layout incorporates multiple paved paths designed for cyclists and commuters traversing the district. Seasonal events, including local festivals and cultural gatherings, are held within the park grounds regularly. The area is heavily used by local residents for recreation, exercise, and social interaction. Mature tree cover provides substantial shade throughout the warmer months. Recent maintenance efforts have preserved the park's function as a public transit-adjacent green space. It is situated within a high-density residential zone, making it a primary outdoor hub for the local community.
