SILESIA PARK – POLAND’S LARGEST URBAN PUBLIC PARK SILESIA PARK (Silesian Park of Culture and Recreation) in Chorzow is an unsurpassed oasis of green in the heart of Silesian agglomeration located in Southern Poland near Krakow and Katowice. With a population of 4 million, this is the most highly industrialised area in Poland. For more than 60 years, recreational walkers and tourists as well as those wanting to spend their leisure time more actively, have all been able to enjoy what the park has to offer. SILESIA PARK is spread over an area of 500 hectares. Forested areas cover 250ha and 100ha are tended greens and parklands. Ponds, streams, numerous species of trees and shrubs as well as extensive greens form a friendly refuge for wild animals (mammals, fish, birds, amphibians and reptiles), which live in this unique area adjoining the inhabitants of the Silesian ZOO. SILESIA PARK also supports an unparalleled diversity of tourist attractions and entertainment areas. Participate in a session at the Silesian Planetarium and follow it with a visit to the legendary Silesian Stadium, which is currently being modernised – a unique marriage of Earth and Space in one day.
