Sad Janka Kráľa, Historic public park in Petrzalka district, Bratislava, Slovakia.
Sad Janka Krála is a public park on the right bank of the Danube in Petrzalka, spreading across open green spaces with old plane trees and winding paths. Within the grounds stand a historic gazebo, zodiac sign statues, and a children's play area.
The park was founded between 1774 and 1776 on former floodplain forest land and ranks among the oldest public parks in Central Europe. It emerged during a period when the city began creating new spaces for public use.
The park serves as a gathering place for local residents, especially on warm days when families and friends settle on the meadows. The green space draws people seeking quiet time away from the city's hustle.
The park is easy to reach and open for walks throughout the year. Those visiting with children will find the play area convenient, and the wide paths allow comfortable strolling for visitors of all kinds.
Some of the plane trees in the park have stood in the same spot for more than 200 years and rank among the oldest of their kind in the region. These tree giants offer shade across generations and connect visitors to the place's deep past.
