Park of Culture & Recreation [Wojewódzki Park Kultury i Wypoczynku]

Park of Culture & Recreation
Despite the clunky communist name, when it comes to a day outdoors the locals almost uniformly flock to this enormous park and outdoor amusement complex, which greens the grey area between Katowice and Chorzów. Spanning 620 hectares, it claims to be the biggest park in Europe and who are we to claim otherwise? We get lost in here routinely. Among the outstanding attractions are an amusement park with some 50 rides, a 4 pool water park, a large rose garden, an outdoor ethnographic museum, zoo, planetarium, high ropes course, sports courts, paintball park (currently under renovation), cycling paths and a pond where you have the opportunity to rent kayaks, canoes and other floatable transports in season. Officially located in Chorzów, this is by far the region’s best attraction and an absolute no-brainer for anyone with some spare time on a sunny day. To get there take tram 6 from Katowice's Rynek, which makes several stops along the course of the Park, including at the zoo, on its way to Chorzów's Rynek. For more info check the individual Leisure listings of the attractions in bold above.
