This very spot has been named Jan Henryk Dąbrowski hill, playing a major role during the Battle of Bydgoszcz in October 1794.

Aleja Górska has a surface of 2.63 hectares (6.5 acres), hemmed by Nowy Rynek square, Terasy, Wiatrakowa and Kujawska streets.

[1] In 1900, during the creation of the waterworks network, a water tower was built at Filarecka Street, with a pay-to-access observation deck round its roof.

In 1938, 56 sorts of plants were catalogued, among others:[4] sessile oak, horse chestnut, Norway maple, field maple, sycamore, black alder, hornbeam, Siberian peashrub, ash tree, common beech, silver poplar, small-leaved lime, large-leaved lime, bird cherries, Swedish whitebeam, Scotch elm, European white elm, grapewine, cypress, European larch, fir, Scots pine, spruce, yew.

In 1995, in the western part of the park was unveiled a monument realized by local sculptor Krystyna Panasik: an obelisk bearing a commemorative plaque in honor of General Henryk Dąbrowski.

The initial public gardens were incorporated into the Freedom Park, covering 9.7 hectares (24 acres) in a luxurious way: 70 species of deciduous trees, conifers and shrubs were catalogued.

The stairs have been refurbished in 2014,[10] part of an overall renovation plan spanning from Henryk Dąbrowski Park to the Heroes Cemetery (Polish: Cmentarz Bohaterów Bydgoszczy).

They were identified through time as: Today, the path along Bydgoszcz hilly southern slopes offers a panorama of the city from Henryk Dąbrowski Park to Aleja Górska and Kujawska street.

The trail continues east, up the stairs to the Park on Wolności Hill, reaching Jan Biziel hospital: further eastern segments of this panorama walking path are located in Wyżyny and Kapuściska districts.

About 50 species of trees and shrubs grow around the two cascade ponds, both on the upper and lower terraces connected by stairs,[6] including large-leaved lime, horse chestnut, common beech, black locust, Norway and field maples and sycamore.

[12] One of the essential architectural element of the park is bought by the presence of the 1900 water tower, built to regulate the pressure in the municipal waterworks network.
