Maria Teresia ordered the planting of trees on the uncultivated area and willow in the marsh on the area of today’s City Park Lake. Creating the Beauty Commission at the time of József nádor (Joseph Palatine) the City of Pest planted group of trees on the border of the city, this land of over three hundred hectares. He showed much affection for the City Park, which was made more beautiful and which improved right from the beginning, so that the public park offers a pleasant environment for relaxation and entertainment for the citizens. The palatine had the planetrees transported from his own land in Alcsút, which have by now grown huge. The City Park had become a popular
meeting place by the time before the Compromise, satisfying the needs of all social strata. Different sports found their home here also at this time. The upper class soon grew fond of boating on the lake in the City Park, as the romantic atmosphere attracted the ladies and the gentlemen could prove their physical fitness by rowing to please the ladies. During winter the skaters also appeared on the frozen lake. No better recreation park in today’s terms could have been found.
