Palace Park, Historic park in Strzelce Opolskie, Poland

Palace Park is a 65-hectare English-style landscape park in Strzelce Opolskie, laid out as an elongated polygon. It is divided into a smaller older section around the castle ruins and a larger section across Parkowa Street. Two long ponds linked by a canal were dug and the excavated earth formed artificial hills.

The park was founded in 1832 by Count Andrzej Maria Renard, who sent his gardener Schmidt to England to study English landscape parks. Schmidt returned in 1832 and began nearly thirty years of work, later advised by Eduard Petzold. The park cost 200,000 marks and employed hundreds of workers. In 1945 Soviet troops burned the castle and devastated the park.

The park is also called Renard Park, after Count Andrzej Maria Renard, who founded it in 1832. A marked ecological and educational trail, the "Trail of Count Renard", was laid out in 2006. Near the castle stands a monument to Ceres, the Roman goddess of abundance, linked to a local legend about Princess Elisabeth.

The park is open year-round and free to enter. It lies south of the town centre, bounded by Krakowska Street and the castle to the north, Opolska Street to the west, and fragments of an old wall to the east. The park is split into a smaller part with the castle ruins and a larger part across Parkowa Street. A marked ecological and educational trail, the Szlak Hrabiego Renarda, laid out in 2006, guides visitors through the grounds.

The soil dug for the two long ponds linked by a canal was used to raise the artificial hills, and the mound by the castle served as a cold store. The park's oldest spruce was measured in 1992 at 337 years and 490 cm in girth, and its elm, 37.5 m tall, is the tallest common elm in Poland.
