[2] The 3 hectares (7.4 acres) park's poor maintenance over decades caused it to fall into bad shape.

As a joint initiative of Boris Tadić (President of Serbia) and Milorad Dodik (Prime Minister of Republika Srpska),[3] with assistance of the Belgrade city government and communal services, and plant breeders from Banja Luka, 1.7 hectares (4.2 acres) of the park were restored, and the new park opened on 30 April 2008.

[6] Additional 60 trees were planted on 9 December 2022, commemorating the Human Rights Day, by numerous city officials, embassies representatives, and members of the human rights organizations, including Belgrade's deputy mayor Vesna Vidović and U.S. ambassador Christopher R.

[7][8] The creation of a new park was conducted by planting of 300 deciduous and conifer trees, 500 square metres (5,400 sq ft) of grass turfs, 3,000 pieces of seasonal flowers, and park equipment donated by the Tamaris company from Banja Luka.

[3] The park and its promenades are already labeled one of the best arranged and an "open botanical garden", because of the unusual variety of plants in it, where "biology students can learn just by sitting on the benches".
