Park Maćka i Doroty w Krakowie, Public park in Swoszowice district, Kraków, Poland.
Park Maćka i Doroty covers 10.31 hectares between Jana Kluka, Borkowska, Wichrowa and Narvik streets in Kraków's Swoszowice district. Gravel paths lined with benches and litter bins cross lawns planted with many species of trees and shrubs. The western part, reached from Borkowska street, is wooded, and a playground with swings and a sandpit serves children.
The park was named in 2004 after Maciej Szumowski and Dorota Terakowska, both former editors of the Gazeta Krakowska newspaper. A memorial plaque was unveiled in 2010 to honor their significance in local journalism.
The park's patrons are Maciej Szumowski and Dorota Terakowska, editors of the Gazeta Krakowska, whose names it has carried since 2004. Two trees were planted for them: a rowan for Dorota and an elm for Maciej. A memorial plaque to both journalists was unveiled on 16 October 2010.
