The Gençlik Park was built on 28 hectares of what was at the time swamp land during the early years of Republic. The first project for the park was designed by Hermann Jansen; however the Ministry of Public Works decided to apply the design of French architect Théo Leveau. Gençlik Park opened on May 9, 1943 with attractions including a pond, a playground, an open-air theater, tea gardens and casinos. In time the park became the most popular recreation and entertainment place in Ankara and in the 1950s a wedding hall and funfair were introduced. However, when the city center gravitated towards Kızılay, the popularity of Gençlik Park decreased. After a renovation project starting in 2005, the park reopened in 2009 in its current form.

Gençlik Parkı, Cumhuriyet’in ilk yıllarında bataklık olan 28 hektar genişliğinde bir araziye kuruldu. İlk proje Hermann Jansen tarafından hazırlandı fakat Bayındırlık Bakanlığı, Fransız Théo Leveau’ya ait tasarımın uygulanmasına karar verdi. Bünyesinde gölet, çocuk bahçesi, açık hava tiyatrosu, çay bahçeleri ve gazinolar bulunduran park 19 Mayıs 1943'te hizmete açıldı. 1950’lerde nikah salonu ve lunapark eklenmesiyle Ankara’nın en gözde dinlenme ve eğlence tesisi hâline geldi. Şehir merkezinin Kızılay’a kaymasının ardından gitgide popülerliğini kaybetti; dört yıl süren yeniden yapılandırma çalışmalarının ardından 2009’da tekrar halka açıldı.
