Pionirski Park

Pionirski Park is one of the central parks in Belgrade, situated between Kralja Aleksandra Bulevard and Kralja Milana Street, Kneza Miloša Street, and Dragoslava Jovanovića Street. It covers an area of 3 hectares, 60 ares, and 13 square meters. Today’s Pionirski Park, formerly known as the Royal Garden, constitutes a protected environment for immovable cultural heritage: the Old Palace building – now the City Assembly of Belgrade, and the New Palace – currently the office of the President of the Republic of Serbia.

Within the park, an underground garage was constructed on three levels, which started operating on April 1, 2005. The garage has 467 parking spaces, including one designated for disabled individuals and two family and expectant mother parking spaces. The entrance is from Dragoslava Jovanovića Street.

The landscape and architectural design of the park are an integral part of the cultural and historical values of the entire area. The park space, with significant vistas overlooking its surrounding elements, consists of three distinct sub-areas:

The area along Kneza Miloša Street, designed in a landscape (informal) style, represents the largest and highest-quality part of the park with the most high-quality trees.

The flowerbed in front of the City Assembly building, without tall vegetation.

The area towards Kralja Milana Street with a fountain, flowerbed, and two side sections along the palace buildings, featuring several individual tall conifers and deciduous trees.

The richness of the park includes various domestic and imported tree species, among which several of the most valuable specimens of impressive dimensions which are marked with information panels. These include the English oak (Quercus robur L.), hackberry (Celtis australis L.), ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba L.), horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum L.), and others. The high-quality dendroflora is enriched with numerous species of decorative flowers and perennials.

As part of the overall public green space system, Pionirski Park is a significant element of Belgrade’s climate infrastructure.
