Large public recreational park with Wall-Holla in Poland
The city of Krakow in Poland completed a large public revitalization project built on the remains of the former bus station depot and a fragment of an airplane taxiway. Originally, almost the entire area of the park was covered with asphalt and concrete. Now the Czyżyny Park Avia offers a wide range of recreational activities for all ages.
Turning unused space into a popular family oasis
The Czyżyny Park Avia is an example of how public participation can help create vibrant recreational spaces that benefit the whole community. It provides an opportunity to get outdoors and enjoy nature while engaging in physical activity with friends and family. The park is located in the area of the former bus depot and part of a disused airport where used to be 3 hectares of asphalt and concrete.
The playground includes climbing frames, carousels, swings, and a vertical playground Wall-Holla with challenging obstacles that will keep kids entertained for hours. There is also an outdoor gym with Lappset's metal gym equipment.
The end result is a very popular recreational family place in the city of Kraków with a nice story still referring to its previous function: planes and buses are part of the pattern on the EPDM surface at the playground.
The project was part of THE GREEN CITIES EUROPE AWARD – 2022 and it has been praised for its quality recreational spaces and innovative value.
Wall-Holla is an exciting vertical play equipment
