Founded in 1896 and opened in 1899 in an attempt to add a little colour and breathe some much needed fresh air into the lung’s of the city’s proletariat, Sienkiewicz Park is one of the oldest parks in Łódź. At just 5.2ha there are plenty of things to see and do in it. There’s a sandstone sculpture symbolising the four seasons, 19 trees of historic importance and a fountain decorated with neo-Baroque sculptures and a large swan in the middle. The park is also the home to the Museum of Natural History and the highly recommended Centre for the Propagation of Art.
