The area of the park is circa 27.03 ha. Together with Arkona Woods Park it forms KasprowiczâÂÂArkona Park Complex which area is 91,69 ha. It borders the Jasne Bà Âonia on the south east and the Stefan Kownas Arboretum on the north.
The park borders are formed by J. Sà Âowacki Street, B. Zaleski Street, S. Wyspiaà Âski Street and P. Skarga Street. It is located on the slops of Niemierzyà Âska Valley next to Rusaà Âka lake and makes the boundary fragment of Ueckermünde Heath.

The park was established in the city of Stettin in 1900 and named Quistorp Park after Johannes Quistorp, who gave the city the neighbouring areas of Jasne BÃ Âonia square (at the time known as Quistorp-Aue) and Arkona Woods (at the time known as Eckerberger Wald).
In 1945, after the end of World War II, accompanying transfer of the city to Polish People's Republic and deportation of previous city population, park was renamed into Jan Kasprowicz Park (Polish: Park im. Jana Kasprowicza), after the poet Jan Kasprowicz.
