Kępa Potocka, Urban park in Zoliborz district, Poland.
Kępa Potocka is an urban park spanning the Bielany and Zoliborz districts, with extensive walking paths, cycling routes, and open recreational spaces. It includes a skate park, children's play areas, sports facilities, and a central canal that runs through the landscape.
The park was built on the site of a former Vistula River oxbow, which underwent systematic development starting in the 1930s. This transformation converted the riverbed area into the recreational space that exists today.
The park serves as a gathering place for local residents who come for walks, outdoor events, and time with family. It functions as a social hub where the neighborhood comes together throughout the year.
The park is easy to access and caters to various interests, so visitors can find activities suited to their preferences. Wide paths accommodate both pedestrians and cyclists, and seating is scattered throughout for resting between activities.
The park features a water channel system connected to the historical Vistula riverbed, creating a natural corridor that supports local wildlife. This integration of water management and wildlife habitat demonstrates how the river's legacy continues to shape the landscape.
