Olszyna Park in Warsaw

Olszyna Park is a natural green space in Bielany featuring walking paths, open fields, and a central pond surrounded by alder and other trees. The grounds include shaded wooded areas alongside clearings where visitors can rest and observe the surroundings.

The park emerged in the 1950s from former agricultural land and was later protected as a natural landscape complex. This conversion from farmland to green space reflected Warsaw's growing interest in preserving urban vegetation.

The park serves as a local gathering spot where residents walk, exercise, and spend time outdoors together. The paths and open spaces have become part of everyday life for people living in the surrounding neighborhood.

The park is accessible by bus or about a 15-minute walk from the nearest metro station in northern Warsaw. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes as the paths vary in surface and the ground can become slippery during wet weather.

The central pond draws multiple bird species during migration periods when they stop to rest and feed. These viewing opportunities make the space a quiet retreat where urban nature can be observed with minimal disturbance.
