- Park Krakowski
Park Krakowski, located in
Krakow ,Poland , was founded in1885 by citycouncillor Stanisław Rehman . It was built on the grounds leased from the military. The park was modelled after similar parks inVienna . AfterWorld War I its area was reduced, due to rapid real estate development.The park was originally equipped with a concert bowl, an ice and bicycle rink, a swimming pool, a bowling alley, a restaurant, cafés, a summer theatre (since 1890), and a
zoo . It was a popular destination point with manyFin de siècle Cracovians. From the original setup only the pond remains. Since 1974 there are numerous abstract sculptures on display throughout the park, made by S. Borzęcki, A. Hajducki, W. Kućma, J. Sękowski and J. Siek.References
