In 1680, within the current area of the park, nobleperson and politician Stanisław Herakliusz Lubomirski, built his palace residence, which he had called Arkadia (Arcadia). It was designed by architect Tylman van Gameren. Around the residence were built gardens. Neither structure survives to the present day. In 1720, the area was bought by Augustus III of Poland, monarch of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. He had bought it due to its natural water springs, which were planned to be used to feed the water features of the Royal Baths Park complex. In 1786, nearby the area, was built Królikarnia palace, owned by Carlo Alessandro Tomatis, husband of Caterina Gattai Tomatis. The urban park was designed by Longin Majdecki, and created between 1968 and 1970. It was built next to Królikarnia palace.
