Stary Ogród w Radomiu, Historic park in Radom, Poland.
Stary Ogród is a public park in the city featuring walking paths, a central pond with waterfowl, and seating areas distributed throughout. It provides chess tables for visitors and two children's playgrounds with safety surfaces designed for different age groups.
Construction of the park began in 1820 and was completed in 1825, making it one of the first public gardens established in the Kingdom of Poland. Its development during this period shows the early commitment to creating green spaces in the city.
The park earned the nickname 'Salon of Radom' in the late 19th century, when it hosted artistic performances and sporting events that drew crowds from across the city. This reputation made it a gathering place where people could experience entertainment and socialize.
The park is easy to access and has bicycle racks at the entrance for visitors arriving by bike. The best time to visit is during warmer months when the paths are in good condition and outdoor areas are fully usable.
The park's pond connects to the Mleczna River through a pump system and includes a drainage gate for water level control. This technical system has allowed the water feature to be managed for generations.
