Park Klepacza w Łodzi, Historic park in Old Polesie, Łódź, Poland
Park Klepacza w Łodzi is a green space covering about 3.3 hectares in the Old Polesie neighborhood, featuring some 230 trees, roughly 130 shrubs, and 24 protected natural monuments distributed across gently sloping terrain. The grounds contain two historic villas and a network of walking paths connecting different sections of the park.
The grounds were established in 1898 by the Richter family, wealthy manufacturers who developed the site as part of their estate. Following World War II, it transitioned to public use and gained official monument protection in 1983.
The space reflects its origins as a private family estate, with the two villas standing as reminders of the industrial wealth that shaped this neighborhood. Today visitors can sense how the carefully maintained grounds preserve the character of a cultivated retreat from the industrial city that surrounds it.
The grounds are open daily and feature walking paths through planted areas and among the trees. The terrain is relatively flat with gentle slopes on the west and south sides, making it easy to navigate for most visitors.
An ancient oak tree with a trunk circumference of roughly 455 centimeters stands on the grounds and represents one of the most notable specimens in this space. Additionally, the site holds Poland's largest urban collection of Siberian squill, which blooms distinctly in spring months.
