RKS Skra Stadium, Sports venue in Warsaw, Poland
RKS Skra Stadium is a sports venue in Warsaw, Poland. It consists of an athletics track surrounding a grass field, with simple concrete stands on one side and open areas for other activities.
The stadium was built in the 1920s as part of the Skra sports club, which was founded by workers and students. It was rebuilt after World War II and later modernized, while keeping its original layout and role as a community sports ground.
The name Skra comes from the Polish word for spark, a nod to the club's origins in the early 20th century. Today, the venue hosts local athletics meets and community sports events, and on weekdays you can see runners and school groups using the track.
The stadium is easy to reach by public transport, with a tram stop and a metro station a short walk away. Visitors can enter through the main gate on the east side, and the site is mostly flat, making it accessible for wheelchairs and strollers.
The stadium's running track is open to the public during certain hours, allowing locals to train on the same surface used for competitions. Also, the site includes a small memorial plaque honoring club members who died in the war, often missed by visitors.
