Sołacki Park

Sołacki Park was laid out in 1908–1911 to a design by Hermann Kube, then director of the Poznań Municipal Gardens. It covers almost 15 hectares and was created on the marshy land of the Bogdanka valley.

About the park

It is a park in the English style. About 3,000 trees and 12,000 shrubs grow here, alongside native species also exotic ones, among them the Canadian hemlock, the bald cypress and the Douglas fir.

The dammed Bogdanka forms the Sołacz Ponds with irregular shores.

Since 1983 the park has been entered in the register of monuments together with the villa district of Sołacz.
