Stanisław Tołpa Park in Wrocław

Stanisław Tołpa Park in Wrocław is a green space in the Ołbin district featuring a central pond with a small island, open grasslands, and artificial hills set among historic structures. Multiple walking paths wind through the area, connecting different sections and views of the landscape.

The park was approved in 1902 and construction began in 1905 on land that formerly belonged to a monastery, with gardening work finished by 1907. This transformation converted religious grounds into a public recreational space for the expanding city.

The park honors Stanisław Tołpa, a renowned botanist and professor at the Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences through its name since 2005. His work shaped how people understand and cultivate plant life in this region.

The park is open 24 hours without gates or fences, making it freely accessible at any time to visitors. Two children's playgrounds, a dog run area, and multiple benches along the paths provide amenities for different needs.

The park preserves century-old beech trees with unusual hanging and cone shapes, which are botanical rarities. Rare North American plant species grow near the neo-gothic St. Michael Archangel Church, thriving in the park's favorable conditions.
