Stanisław Wyspiański Park in Kraków, Urban park in Prądnik Biały district, Kraków, Poland.
Stanisław Wyspiański Park is a green space in the Prądnik Biały district with walking paths, seating areas, and a children's play zone set within a sunken landscape. The park is bordered by residential buildings and offers multiple places to rest and spend time outdoors.
The site was originally Fort Number 9 Krowodrza, a military structure built between 1860 and 1864 as part of Kraków's defensive system. The transformation from military fortification to public recreation space reflects how the city has reshaped its urban areas over time.
The park carries the name of Stanisław Wyspiański, a Polish artist whose creative work shaped Kraków's artistic landscape. Visitors can experience a connection to the city's artistic tradition through this public space.
The park can be reached from several entry points along Tadeusza Makowskiego street, Józefa Chełmońskiego street, and near the Church of St. Jadwiga Queen. Its sunken position makes it feel removed from the surrounding noise, offering a quieter setting for a walk.
A concrete sculpture called Kula, created by artist Jerzy Nowakowski in 1971, stands as a focal point within the park grounds. This modern art piece provides an unexpected contrast to the site's military past.
