Parks and nature

Millennium Park

Millennium Park covers 26.3 hectares. It was laid out on forest land, on the site of a former military firing range and an old cemetery on ul. Świętojańska.

History

The first plans for the park appeared in 1928, and in 1931 a competition was announced for developing the so-called Cybina Green Wedge. Work began only after the city had been rebuilt from wartime destruction.

The park was opened on 16 July 1966 as the first of five newly designed city parks. Finishing work lasted until 1970.

What to see

28 monuments made of erratic boulders placed along the paths.

A small amphitheatre and wide walking avenues with bays in which benches stand.

For families

In the northern part of the park there is a traffic town where children learn the rules as pedestrians and cyclists. It is also useful before a cycling-licence exam.

A large playground, trampolines, an outdoor gym and a dog-walking area.
