The new Zakrzówek Park debuted in June 2023, and aside from some initial obligatory grumbles, the project has proven a success. In addition to new pathways, benches at overlook points and much-needed waste bins, the park now features five swimming pools of varying depths (including one 40cm deep pool for small children), set inside the quarry and connected by wide wooden floating docks. Although entry is free, there is an entry gate that limits the number of people in the pools to prevent overcrowding (600 max). The pools are lifeguarded and open to the public from June 1 to August 31, 10:00-18:00. Near the pools there are also new changing facilities, toilets, food trucks and a cafe.
Long home to a scuba diving school, we suspect it too will reopen, but it's unclear when; with a depth of 7-21m/23-69ft, the bottom of Zakrzówek Quarry is cluttered with all kinds of things that shouldn’t be there: several vehicles and sunken boats, including a small aircraft with two fake skeletons in the cockpit, as well as the former changing rooms of the quarry workers.
