The park was named after Angiolina Khuen Belasi, who was the wife of the mayor at the time. She had a passion for nature and wanted to create an outdoor space where people could relax and enjoy all that nature has to offer. As such, she created this serene oasis surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation.
