Lužánky

Lužánky is the largest park in Brno, spreading across a wide area with meadows, woodland, and planted beds. The grounds feature a pavilion structure from the 19th century, several fountains and sculptures, plus designated zones for tennis, volleyball, and outdoor exercise.

The land was given to a monastery in the 13th century and transformed into a public park in 1786 by an order of Emperor Joseph II. This shift made it a pioneer in how parks developed across the Czech lands.

The grounds are named after writer Václav Lužanský and serve today as a place where visitors walk, exercise, and gather with family. The open lawns and green spaces define the character of the location as much as its older structures.

The park provides grilling areas, tennis courts, volleyball fields, and outdoor exercise equipment for various activities. Visitors should know that the large grounds take time to explore and paths can have different conditions depending on the weather.

The grounds feature a monument to Emperor Joseph II that marks his decree creating this park. The monument stands as a quiet reminder of the decision that reshaped public life in the city.
