Pionirski Park
About

Pionirski Park in Belgrade, formerly the Royal Garden of the Karađorđević dynasty, is a central green space steeped in history and elegance. Redesigned as a public park in 1945 and renamed in 1952, it spans over 3.6 hectares between the Old and New Palaces, now home to the City Assembly and the President of Serbia. The park features rare and centuries-old trees, manicured flowerbeds, and notable monuments, including tributes to Nobel laureate Ivo Andrić and artist Nadežda Petrović. A key historical element is the Observation Post from the Serbian Army’s High Command on Kajmakčalan. The park’s layout blends formal and informal landscaping, offering shaded paths, fountains, and a children’s play area. In 2005, a three-level underground garage was added beneath the park. As a protected cultural and natural site, Pionirski Park remains a tranquil yet symbolic space in the heart of Belgrade, reflecting the city’s royal legacy and civic pride.

Location

Pionirski Park is centrally located in Belgrade’s Stari Grad municipality, bordered by Bulevar Kralja Aleksandra, Kralja Milana, Kneza Miloša, and Dragoslava Jovanovića streets, occupying a prominent block in the heart of the city. Originally developed from the royal gardens of the Old and New Palaces, the park is now a protected botanical natural monument and a key part of Belgrade’s green landscape. Within and around the park are some of the city’s most significant landmarks: the Old Palace (now the City Assembly of Belgrade), the New Palace (office of the President of Serbia), the House of the National Assembly, Nikola Pašić Square, and the Dom Sindikata. The park’s lush greenery, flowerbeds, and historic monuments provide a tranquil retreat amid the urban bustle, while its proximity to Terazije, Andrićev Venac, Tašmajdan Park, and Krunski Venac ensures visitors are steps away from cultural, historical, and governmental sites. Pionirski Park’s central location and rich heritage make it a vibrant oasis for both relaxation and sightseeing in downtown Belgrade.
