About this landmark
Petar Kočić Park is a green oasis in the very heart of Banja Luka, located opposite Krajina Square and one of the most beloved promenades of the city's residents. Founded in 1931 in the French style with fountains, pathways, and a music pavilion, the park is named after the great Serbian writer and national tribune Petar Kočić, whose bronze monument — the work of sculptors Augustinčić and Radauš — was erected as early as 1932.
Following a complete renovation in 2006, the park received a modern appearance and was declared the most successful infrastructure project in BiH that year. More than 50 species of greenery and a variety of flowers blooming throughout the year make it the true green lungs of Banja Luka. The main path leads past Kočić's monument to the music pavilion, alongside water features and benches for resting. An ideal spot for a short break, a stroll, and enjoying the city center.
