 The Bulandra Theatre (the Toma Caragiu stage, "Sala Toma Caragiu"), Ioanid Park (now called "Ion Voicu"), the "Icoanei" Church and the Anglican Church are located in the park's immediate vicinity.In a city plan from 1852, the area occupied now by the park was designated as "Maidanul Stăpânirii", signifying a city-owned town square.In the area was the Icoana Pond, from which the Bucureștioara brook sprang, and a wooded grove, which formed the nucleus of the present-day park.
