Park Grota, Urban park in Sucha Góra district, Bytom, Poland.
Park Grota is an urban park covering about 2.6 hectares with two ponds, walking paths, and forested sections. Maple, poplar, and willow trees grow throughout the space, creating shaded routes and natural areas for visitors to explore.
This space developed in the 1970s from former mining grounds where minerals had been extracted for centuries. The land was transformed into a green park, turning an industrial site into a place for walking and rest.
The name comes from a stone grotto holding a statue of Virgin Mary, placed there in 1938 by priest Józef Knosała as a spiritual landmark. This grotto remains a quiet spot where visitors can pause and reflect during their walk.
The park is easy to navigate with a playground, chess tables, seating along the paths, and fishing spots by both ponds. Most areas are relatively flat and accessible, making a visit comfortable for different age groups.
The two ponds here have very different characters: one is carefully maintained with manicured paths, while the other remains more wild and attracts local animals and fish. This mix of managed and natural areas is what makes the park stand out.
