Šimkovy sady, Forest park in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic.

Šimkovy sady is a forest park in Hradec Králové with ponds, elevated walkways, and multiple recreational areas. The space includes paved paths, a restaurant area, children's play zones, and a skate park for different activities.

The park was created between 1932 and 1935 on the initiative of the city savings bank, following a regulatory plan by Josef Gočár and a design by Dr. Kamenický from Průhonice in the style of an English park. It was first named Herrmannovy sady after the writer Ignát Herrmann. Most manual work was done by the unemployed, who received welfare vouchers and partial cash wages. In 1948 it was renamed Pionýrské sady, and after 1990 it received its current name after the scout Karel Šimek, shot on 30 April 1945 near the park while destroying telephone lines for the German garrison.

The park's name, adopted after 1990, honours Karel Šimko, a Hradec Králové scout in the anti-fascist resistance. He was shot on 30 April 1945 near the park while cutting German telephone lines. Older residents still call the grounds Pionýrské sady, or "Pionýrky", the name they held from 1948.

The park has areas for inline skating, two separate play areas, and a dedicated skate park for different visitors. The paved paths make it easy to navigate and reach all sections.

During times of economic difficulty, the park's construction provided jobs for local residents. This project resembles the Hunger Wall initiative in Prague created for the same purpose.
