Sports and Parks

Sports in Warsaw

Warsaw is rich in sports facilities. Just go to any park and there are football fields, places where you can play squash, go cycling, horse-riding, and I could go on and on. For the health nuts, there are also highly equipped fitness clubs you could go to. A haven for golfers is just around the corner as golf courses are just a stone’s throw away from the parks. Kampinoski Primeval Forest, which is just a short drive away from the city, is a place where you can take your family to see the animals. It is a place where hares, does and squirrels run freely.  After a long day, it is time to relax and go to a sauna, Jacuzzi or hot relaxing baths.

Warsaw’s Biggest Park

Occupying about 76 hectares of the city, Lazienki Park, or Park Lazienkowski in Polish, is Warsaw’s biggest park. It used to be a summer retreat for the Royals, because the park was originally the Royal’s Palace park.  Small lakes, amazing sculptures and majestic trees environ the park. It has become a favorite place to relax or go for a stroll for families, lovers, and tourists, alike. On some days, you can be lucky to attend a photo exhibition. You can’t claim to have been in Warsaw if you didn’t pay a visit or a stroll around Lazienki Park. With its charming atmosphere and artistic landscapes, your visit will surely be hard to forget.
