Park Krakowski

Why go

The park began in 1885 as a Vienna-inspired leisure ground with a concert bowl, rink, pool, theatre and zoo. Most of that programme disappeared as development reduced the grounds, leaving the pond and a group of abstract sculptures installed from 1974 as the clearest traces of its changing role.

What to look for

• The pond is the principal survivor of the park’s original leisure layout.
• Abstract sculptures have stood throughout the grounds since 1974.
• The park’s reduced footprint reflects the surrounding city’s expansion after the First World War.

Useful to know

• Use the park for a short, unprogrammed stroll rather than planning it as a major attraction.
• Outdoor conditions determine comfort, so favour daylight and suitable weather for seeing the sculptures.
