Pionirski Park is located in the inner city core of Belgrade. Following the Decree of Assembly of the City of Belgrade and by the Environmental law, Pionirski Park in Belgrade was announced as natural monument - park of man-made botanical value. In addition, Pionirski Park is defined, by the law on cultural heritage, as protected environs of the Old Palace - the building of Assembly of the City of Belgrade and the New Palace-the building of the President of the Republic of Serbia. The Parliament Building and the building of National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia are located nearby. Pionirski park is spatially and compositionally connected with objects of major value for cultural heritage and, as such, it is an important element of the Republic of Serbia and of Belgrade, its capital city. Pionirski park, previously known as the Garden of the Palace, represents architectural composition with vegetative material as the main element. The number of high valuable autochthonous and allochtonous exemplars of dendroflora are acknowledged. The composition and esthetic values are improved by numerous parterre designs, decorative floral annuals and perennials. The Park is a green oasis in the city and a habitat for many bird and bat species (protected as natural rarities). As an integral part of Belgrade's public greenery system, Pionirski park contributes to the climatic infrastructure of an otherwise overcrowded city. At the same time, its association with the Palaces' complex makes the park part of the country's architectural cultural and park heritage. Its pleasant ambiance and function as a public space improve Belgrade's identity. Having in mind that Belgrade has recently blossomed into an important tourist destination in Europe, integrated protection and responsible usage and improvement of natural and cultural values of Belgrade should be highlighted in further development and improvement.
