Dunavski Park is the oldest existing place for walking and relaxation of Novi Sad citizens. For a long time, there was a liman – a backwater of the Danube, and Dunavski Park as we know it today was mentioned for the first time in a record from 1810. Substantial arrangements of this area took place at the turn of the 20th century when the footpaths were made and the gazebo built. At the entrance to the park from Dunavska Street, the first sculpture of “Girl with Cornucopiaˮ by Đorđe Jovanović was placed in 1912.
While walking in the park or boating on the lake for pleasure, a military band played music in a place called “Promenadaˮ. In winter, the lake was frozen, so there was an ice rink. The next arrangement of the park took place in the 1930s along with the building of the so-called “Mali Limanˮ. The park was then landscaped from all sides and got its present appearance and size. The first tennis court was also built, where the greatest European tennis players of that time used to play.
