Park Zdrojowy w Horyńcu-Zdroju, Public park in Horyniec-Zdrój, Poland.
Park Zdrojowy is a 6.7-hectare green space with numerous walking paths, fountains, and recreational areas surrounded by natural vegetation and therapeutic water sources. The space is bounded by Mickiewicza Street, Zdrojowa Street, and the Glinianiec and Horynianka streams.
The park was laid out in the late 1920s by the Karłowski family, after Senator Stanisław Karłowski opened a sulfur bathhouse in 1923 and visitor numbers passed 800 in 1927. Gardeners Franciszek Banaszak and his brothers, brought from Szelejewo in 1929, turned marshy meadows into a promenade. It was entered in the monument register in 1993.
The park's social life was shaped by the Karłowski family: music played from morning, evening dances were held outdoors or in the Zdrojowa Hall, and festivals and sports events took place on a pitch behind the baths. A fountain on the square before the 1962 treatment building was nicknamed "Sputnik" by residents.
The park lies in the centre of Horyniec-Zdrój, bounded by Mickiewicza Street to the west, Aleja Przyjaźni to the north and Zdrojowa Street to the east, with the Glinianiec and Horynianka streams running through it. The 2013–2015 redevelopment laid out new alleys, lighting and benches, so the grounds can be crossed on foot between these three streets.
The fountain on the square in front of the former treatment building was nicknamed "Sputnik" by residents. The building itself, erected in 1962 on the site of the pre-war baths, was demolished in 1998 after treatment moved to a new district.
