INFO :

On the site of the current park, before 1984-1985, there was the Mihai-Vodă hill, on which the Mihai Vodă Monastery stood. Through the plan to modernize Bucharest and build the Civic Center, the hill was leveled and the cells of the monastery were demolished. Mihai-Vodă Church, together with the bell tower, was saved, in 1985, being translated to the east, on the slope, over a distance of 289 m and lowered vertically by 6.2 m[1], to the bank of Dâmbovița, where it was hidden from view, after some blocks, on Sapienței street. The rest of the buildings on the hill were demolished, including the Palace of State Archives, rebuilt in the years 1900-1916, according to the plans of the architects Petre Antonescu and Cristofi Cerchez, and the archaeological site with vestiges from the Bronze Age, located in the courtyard of the monastery, was also destroyed. Next to the monastery were the remains of the New Court (also called Curtea Arsă, after the fire of 1812), erected by the Phanariot Alexandru Ipsilanti, which were also irreparably destroyed.

In the corner from the Hasdeu bridge of the current Izvor park, located at the intersection between Splaiul Independentiei and Str. Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu, across the street from the Faculty of Biology of the University of Bucharest, there was, since 1925, the Institute of Theoretical Chemistry within the University of Bucharest. The L-shaped, 3-story building collapsed in the earthquake of March 4, 1977. The remains of the faculty were demolished and the building was never rebuilt.[2]

In that level place it was desired to build a large conference and reception hall. After the Romanian Revolution of 1989, the project was no longer started and the location remained at the "maidan" stage.

In the 90s, the City Hall laid out alleys, planted trees and gave the place the name Parkul Izvor. The park has the shape of a rectangle, with an area of ​​17 hectares, and is bounded by Naçionile Unite boulevard, Libertății boulevard, B. P. Hasdeu street and Splaiul Independţei, where the Izvor metro station is also located. Of the 170,000 square meters occupied by Izvor Park, 28,902 square meters are walkways and 141,098 square meters are covered with grass. The 4 main paths, which add up to about 3.2 km, are ideal routes for those who practice running or jogging.
