History: This area was a flood plain of the Devil's Ditch (Ördög-árok). It was used for meadow a long time, then it was a military-owned land. A city's commander, Count Daun, horticulture and farm established in 1700s. In 1785 a regulation of Joseph II (Habsburg Emperor) established a public park here. In 1787 more than three thousand trees were planted, brought from the forests of Budakeszi and Dunabogdány settlements. József Tallherr state architect and Antal Kock urban gardener made the plans inspired by the French gardens. In early 1800s an amusement park called Budai vurstli was moved here. This led to the deterioration of the neighborhood. In 1920 the Devil's Ditch was covered, and after some reconstruction the park was revived. Also here is the BSE sports hall with tennis courts, Városmajori Outdoor Theatre, Városmajori High School and the terminus for the cogwheel railway (on maps signed as tram#60).
