By the 1970s, through the area of current park run a dirt road, connecting Komisji Edukacji Narodowej Avenue and Lanciego Street.

As the local government anticipated that it would eventually be developed into a paved street, in 1977, it named it after Henryk Świątkowski, a lawyer who was the Minister of Justice of Poland from 1945 to 1956.

Due to protests of the local inhabitants, it was decided against the location, and the building was instead constructed at 568 Puławska Street in the neighbourhood of Jeziorki.

The western smaller part contains a recreational park area, with football pitch and playgrounds.

The eastern larger part contains a small woodland area known as the Birch Woods (Polish: Lasek Brzozowy), administered by the Warsaw Municipal Forestry.
