Park Strachowicki, Wrocław

Across roughly eight hectares, Park Strachowicki preserves the grounds of a former manor estate. Its ponds belong to the drainage basin of the Ługowina stream, making water part of the park’s underlying landscape as well as its scenery. This green space lies in Strachowice, in western Wrocław, between Strachowicka, Zarembowicza and Graniczna streets, with Wrocław Airport nearby.

Notice the variety of mature trees around you: the park includes pedunculate oaks, European beeches, bald cypresses and pin oaks, with some trees protected as natural monuments. There is also a children’s playground here. The name Park Strachowicki has been official since the ninth of October 1993, when Wrocław’s City Council adopted names for the city’s parks and wooded areas.

The municipal Greenery Board manages the park today. Along with the vegetation around the airport and the Żerniki neighbourhood, this park forms part of a broader natural area on Wrocław’s western edge.
