Parks and nature

Kasprowicz Park

Kasprowicz Park lies in Łazarz, between ul. Reymonta, ul. Wyspiańskiego, ul. Jarochowskiego and ul. Chociszewskiego. It covers 9.3 hectares and was laid out in 1936–1939.

History

During the occupation the Germans devastated the park, because they planned to move the Poznań zoo here. In the early 1960s the area was tidied up and new trees and shrubs were planted.

What to see

The Arena sports and entertainment hall, standing on the park's grounds.

A stone obelisk with a bas-relief of the face of Jan Kasprowicz by Edward Haupt of 1967, at the corner of ul. Jarochowskiego and ul. Niegolewskich.

For families

Two playgrounds, an outdoor gym, street workout equipment, tables for chess and draughts, a ping-pong table and a dog run.
