Skwer Skaczącej Gwiazdy, Garden square in central Wrocław, Poland.
This garden square in central Wrocław features pathways arranged in a star pattern with flower beds and a topographical depression in the western section. The space includes outdoor exercise equipment, chess tables, picnic areas, and separate play zones designed for different age groups.
This space occupies the former site of 18th-century Prussian fortifications that were dismantled in 1807 following the capture of Wrocław by French forces. The transformation of this military location into a public garden marked a shift in the city's development.
The space references the star-shaped bastions that once occupied this location through its design and naming. Children discover a playground featuring elements inspired by Alice in Wonderland that invite exploration and creative play.
The space is easy to navigate with clear zones for different types of activities and visitors. The open layout means weather can affect the experience, so visiting during warmer months provides the most comfortable time to explore.
The Municipal Council of Wrocław named this space in 2010 to honor the star-shaped bastions that once dominated the location. This naming choice creates a direct link between today's public garden and its strategic military past.
