• Gravel paths, not asphalt, since the 2022 renovation laid crushed limestone and gravel on the main lanes, so scooters and small bike wheels roll poorly
• Small and central, at 2.4 hectares it suits a short play stop near Piața Romană and Bulevardul Magheru rather than a full day out
• Bulandra Theatre next door, with the Toma Caragiu stage on the park's edge, handy for a play stop before a show

Grădina Icoanei is a 2.4-hectare garden laid out in 1873 and listed as a historic monument. Winding paths of crushed limestone and gravel loop between two fountains, lawns and play areas for kids.

A 1904 statue of politician G.C. Cantacuzino stands at the northern entrance, and a bronze bust of poet Adrian Păunescu at the southern edge. The Bulandra Theatre's Toma Caragiu stage sits right beside the park.
