Nysa city park: a practical guide to park miejski 800-lecia Nysy

The park lies a few hundred metres southwest of Nysa’s Market Square, at Aleja Duńczyków. The Nysa Kłodzka and a water channel form its northern boundary; along the eastern edge are the former moat, Staw Łabędzi and Staw Gondolowy.

For a day on foot, you can pair the green space with a walk through Nysa city centre. The park’s position just beyond the Market Square makes it easy to include in a route around central Nysa.

Paved asphalt paths make the park accessible for walking, running, cycling and roller skating. The grounds include park and woodland sections, with more than 40 hectares of green space.

The landscape reflects the English landscape park style, which favours informal layouts and romanticism. The ground was once marshy, with two branches of the Białka River running through it. Bishop’s Gardens stood near the Młynówka; later, mills helped drain the area.

In the 19th century, parts of the fortifications were dismantled, paths were laid out and trees were planted. Two ponds were also created, where boating was possible.

From the Market Square, head a few hundred metres southwest to reach the park. If you are staying at Hotel Piast, a three-star hotel in Nysa, the walk to the park takes about 12 minutes.

The PTTK regional trail listing gives free parking by Kraszewskiego Street. The Nysa Municipal Tourist Trail also passes through the park; the route covers 11.7 kilometres and takes 3 hours 15 minutes to walk.

The park is free to enter and open to the public. An information board and signs describing trees help you find your way around and identify some of the planting.

For current practical details, check the official site before you go. The park’s paved paths are suited to several ways of getting around, so you can choose a walk, run, cycle or roller skate on the same network.

Start with central Nysa and the Market Square, then continue southwest into the park for time among its paths, trees and ponds. If you want a longer outing, the municipal tourist trail includes the park as part of its 11.7-kilometre route.

A one-day walking itinerary in Nysa can help you combine the park with other city stops. For a shorter break, simply make the park your green-space stop between exploring the centre and continuing your day.
