Arkadia Park in Warsaw, Urban park in Mokotów district, Warsaw, Poland.
Arkadia Park is an urban green space in the Mokotów district that spans across multiple streets with three interconnected ponds as its defining features. A waterway links these ponds and flows toward the Vistula River, creating distinct landscape zones throughout the property.
The site originally held a palace built by Stanisław Herakliusz Lubomirski in 1680, which was later purchased by Augustus III of Poland for its natural springs. This royal ownership shaped the landscape design that characterizes the location today.
The nearby Królikarnia Palace hosts a sculpture museum whose works extend into the park's pathways and open areas. This integration makes art part of the natural landscape that visitors experience while walking through.
The area divides into Upper and Lower sections, with the upper portion situated at the escarpment edge offering different walking experiences. Exploring on foot allows you to experience the different landscape levels and water features across the entire site.
The park was intentionally designed as a counterpoint to urban surroundings with its natural water elements and rolling topography, preserving this distinctive character to this day. This deliberate planning makes it a place where nature feels notably present within the city.
