Floreasca Park, Public park on Calea Floreasca, Bucharest, Romania
Floreasca Park is a public park on Calea Floreasca in Sector 1, Bucharest, separated from Lake Floreasca by Bulevardul Mircea Eliade. It was laid out between 1961 and 1963 on the site of the former Groapa Floreasca neighbourhood. Its centre is a large, almost circular lawn; in 2008 a children's playground with a blue, yellow and orange play structure, slides and swings was placed on that lawn, and a floral clock stands at the entrance near the Floreasca sports hall.
Floreasca Park was laid out between 1961 and 1963 on the site of Groapa Floreasca, a poor interwar neighbourhood. In 1960 the Floreasca ice rink was built in the park, and Decree no. 64/1962 expropriated 55,578.34 sq m for the state. In 2008 the park passed to the city's lakes and parks administration and was fully re-landscaped.
The park holds sculptures by George Apostu, Ion Vlasiu and Victor Roman, and a large floral clock stands at the entrance by the Floreasca sports hall. The ice rink built in 1960 later became the site of Club White restaurant, opened on 16 July 2009.
