Park Zoologická, park in Tsjechië
Park Zoologická is a public park in Kladno built on the site of a former zoo, now featuring ceramic animal sculptures along walking paths. The park contains benches positioned near each sculpture, with the animal's name in Czech on the front and its scientific Latin name on the back.
A small zoo operated on this site starting in the 1960s but eventually closed. In 2017, the area was transformed into a park with ceramic animal sculptures designed to honor the zoo's history.
The park preserves memories of the former zoo through ceramic animal sculptures placed along the walking paths. These figures connect the area's past with today's community life, serving as a friendly reminder of the animals that once lived here.
The park is open year-round and accessible by car or local buses, located conveniently near central Kladno. There are no shops within the park itself, so visitors should bring drinks and snacks if planning to stay longer.
Each ceramic animal sculpture in the park displays the creature's scientific Latin name on its back, adding an educational element to the artworks. This blend of art and scientific detail creates an unexpected learning opportunity during a casual walk.
