Herăstrău Park ( _ro. Parcul Herăstrău ) is a large
park on the northern side ofBucharest ,Romania , around "Lake Herăstrău".The park has an area of about 1.1 km², of which 0.7 km² is the lake.

Village Museum ), which is left more or less undisturbed, and a public/'active' domain with open areas for recreation activities. Small boats are allowed on the lake.At various points in its history it has been called "Parcul Naţional", "Parcul Carol II", and "Parcul I. V. Stalin".
