In 1915 the park was named after the Russian Count Pavel Kiselyov, who played a key role in the administrative reorganization of the Romanian Principalities and contributed to various urban development projects, including the beautification of Bucharest.

The park was developed after 1832, the year in which Șoseaua Kiseleff was built, from the forest located in this part of Bucharest.

Inside the park, there is also a statue complex consisting of four pieces, a work by sculptor George Apostu [ro].

Created in bronze by sculptor Ioan Bolborea [ro], it stands on the site of a previous infantry monument from the interwar period, which was demolished by Ion Antonescu under pressure from Hitler.
