Cancicov Park in Bacău, with an area of 24.50 hectares, was arranged based on the Royal Decree of May 9, 1938, and is the most important green area in the center of the city.
The systematization of Cancicov Park was started in 1935, as a result of a memorandum addressed to the city hall by several citizens from Bacău. The chosen place was the land between the "Pavel and Ana Cristea" Hospital, the railway and the old stadium. The landscaping project was prepared by the landscape architect Eduard Pinard, who is the basis for landscaping the park in the form known today, although in 1961-1962 it underwent several changes, due to the construction of the Summer Theater.
The park was established by Royal Decree on May 9, 1938 at the request of the inhabitants of Bacău, and was originally called Carol Park. Until 1946, this park was known as the New Park or Eminescu Park, after which its name was changed to Liberty Park. After the Romanian Revolution of 1989, the park was named Cancicov Park, after the liberal Mircea Cancicov, who contributed to the urban development of the city. The legend circulated then that the land for this park was donated by Cancicov and, for this reason, it deserves to be given this name. Subsequently, documents were found attesting that the lands for the establishment of this park come from the former "land" of the city, agricultural plots in the exploitation of the citizens of Bacău.
Several busts of personalities were placed in the park, including those of Mihai Eminescu, Ion Creangă, Costache Negri, Alecu Russo, Mircea Cancicov, Mihail Kogălniceanu and C. Pintea.
