Solvay Park in Kraków, Urban park in Łagiewniki-Borek Fałęcki district, Kraków, Poland.
Solvay Park is an urban park in the Łagiewniki-Borek Fałęcki district that extends across both sides of Kościuszkowców Street and connects several distinct areas. It features sports facilities including basketball and ping-pong, children's playgrounds, and paved walking paths throughout the grounds.
The area was developed during the 1920s with funding from the Solvay company and grew into a local gathering spot over the following decades. After the Second World War, the city took over management and has maintained it as public green space ever since.
The park is known locally by several names that reflect the natural zones visitors encounter within it. You can move between open grasslands, wooded sections, and damper areas, each with its own character and feel.
Visitors should note that the park spans both sides of the street, requiring careful navigation between sections. Well-maintained paths make walking possible in various weather, and benches are scattered throughout for resting.
The grounds contain a diverse collection of about 25 tree species that attract uncommon bird species like woodpeckers and support diverse wildlife. This botanical variety makes it an unexpected nature reserve within the city.
