Območje Mestnega parka predstavlja prav posebno krajinsko podobo - sožitje mesta, parka, gozda in vinogradov.
The City Park (Mestni park) area in Maribor represents a very special image of the landscape - a harmonious relationship between the city, the park, the forest and the vineyards.

Ureditev prve parkovne površine se navezuje na potok, ki teče iz
območja Treh ribnikov in je nekdaj služil na napajanje jarka pred
mestnim obzidjem. Prvi del parka je bil urejen v letih 1871 in 1872.The creation of the first parkland in connected to the creek, which flows from the area of the Three Ponds and was once used to flood the ditch in front of the city walls. The first part of the park was landscaped in 1872 and 1872.
Osrednjo promenado so v sedanji podobi uredili leta 1952. Načrte zanjo je izdelal arhitekt Ljubo Humek. Promenado so do Treh ribnikov podaljšali med letoma 1982 in 1983.
The ventral promenade was built in its current form in 1952. The plans for it were created by the architect Ljubo Humek. The promenade was extended to the Three Ponds (Trije ribniki) in 1982 and 1983.

Otroško igrišče na tej lokaciji je že od leta 1952. Nad igriščem je bilo kopališče, ki je danes opuščeno. V bližini sta peskovnik in japonski vrt z značilnimi drevesnimi vrstami in vodnimi motivi. Pod smrekami so moški na lesenih mizah igrali karte in šah, zato so območje poimenovali Monte Carlo.
The well-maintained children´s playground is here since 1952. Above the playground was a swimming pool, which is abandondoned. In the vicinity is also a sandbox and a Japanese garden with characteristic tree species and water motifs. Under the spruces men used to play cards and chess on wooden tables, that is why the area got the name Monte Carlo.
