Count Skarbków Park (formerly Zdrojowy[1]) is a municipal park in Grodzisk Mazowiecki, Poland.
Description
[edit]The park is located in the center of Grodzisk Mazowiecki, bordering the PKP grounds to the north and Foksal Villa, which houses the National Heritage Board of Poland. It borders 3-go Maja Street (south), Bartniaka Street (west), and Okulickiego Street (east). The park area is flat, covered with old trees (old oaks and bald cypress). The Rokicianka River, a tributary of the Rokitnica, flows through the park.[2]
History
[edit]The park was opened to residents around 1870. Before that, until the mid-19th century, it was part of the Jordanowickie gardens of the Mokronoski family. Initially, the park was more extensive and had the character of a spa park. There was a Hydropathic Establishment for Society People.[1] After World War II, the park area was reduced due to the city's development.[3]
In 2012, the park underwent revitalization, enriching its compositional and spatial layout. As part of the revitalization, a new playground, a fountain, and an educational trail were built. The park was officially reopened after revitalization on July 22, 2012, on the 490th anniversary of Grodzisk receiving its city rights.[2]
On June 19, 2022, a graduation tower was opened in the park.[4] The graduation tower is eight meters high and has a volume of 920 m3.[5]
