Carol Park (Romanian: Parcul Carol) is a public park in Bucharest, Romania, named after King Carol I of Romania. For the duration of the communist regime, it was called Liberty Park (Parcul Libertăţii).

The park was designed by French landscape artist Édouard Redont in 1900 on Filaret Hill and inaugurated in 1906. The park had an initial surface area of 360,000m², with a 20,000m² lake in the middle. It is officially recognized as a historical monument and is therefore protected by law.

  • Worth visiting for birds in winter and passage.
  • Ring-necked Parakeets breed here. (Vlad Cioflec 2010, obs. pers)
  • Felicitari celor ce studiaza si pretuiesc natura si pasarile din Bucuresti. Betoanele tot avanseaza din pacate...cine stie cat o sa existe aceste spatii verzi.
  • Watch out for "ciocalar" people. And dogs.
