Hello, everyone! One thing I love about Poland is that there are many large parks that are perfect for walking, relaxing, surrounding yourself with nature, and escaping the routine. Last weekend, Pawel, Olivia, and I had the opportunity to visit one we didn't know about, Świerklaniec Park, located in the town of Świerklaniec (Poland). and I have to say that we loved it because it's ideal for spending time with the family, and we had a lot of fun there. The best part is that it's relatively close to where we live, as it took us just over 30 minutes to get there by car from Sosnowiec. I highly recommend it, but wait, I'll show you more about it below.
Este parque tiene parqueadero pago pero como parecía bastante lleno nosotros decidimos parquear al frente en un supermercado (allí también tuvimos que pagar) pero fue más fácil parquear allí porque habían pocos carros aunque al final cuando decidimos volver a casa ya habían muchos más carros que obviamente eran de personas que iban a visitar el parque como nosotros. Apenas entramos me sorprendió mucho la cantidad de árboles que hay a los lados y lo limpio del parque, y como ven muchas personas van allí a andar bicicleta como Olivia y otros estaban caminando como Pawel y yo y es que este lugar es perfecto para andar, aunque debo decir que algo que no me gustó es que justó ahí en el inicio del camino y más alla del parqueadero también pasan algunos carros por lo que teníamos que sostener a Olivia mientros estos pasaban y le quitaba un poco de tranquilidad a su paseo, lo bueno es que más adelante ya estos no podían pasar por lo que ella finalmente pudo ir tranquila.
This park has paid parking, but since it seemed quite full, we decided to park in front of a supermarket (we had to pay there too), but it was easier to park there because there were few cars. However, when we decided to go home, there were many more cars, obviously belonging to people who were visiting the park like us. As soon as we entered, I was very surprised by the number of trees on either side and how clean the park was. As you can see, many people go there to ride bikes, like Olivia, and others were walking, like Pawel and me. This place is perfect for walking. although I must say that one thing I didn't like was that right at the beginning of the path and beyond the parking lot, some cars also pass by, so we had to hold Olivia while they passed, which took away some of the tranquility of her walk. The good thing is that further on, they couldn't pass, so she was finally able to walk peacefully.
También hay la posibilidad de recorrer el parque alquilando unos pequeños carros allí de los cuales tenían para una persona o para la familia de 4, se veían bastante interesantes pero la verdad es que nosotros preferiamos caminar y disfrutamos de ver a Olivia andando su triciclo, lo bueno es que si te cansas, en el parque hay muchas bancas donde te puedes relajar y eso hicimos nosotros. Nuestra primera parada fue a observar una fuente que hay allí con una escultura en el centro que parecía bastante interesante, cerca de esta fuente hay otra con algunas flores al frente que le daba un toque espectacular, luego fuimos a ver el estanque que por cierto estaba lleno de patos y Olivia estaba muy encantada viendolos de cerca por lo que estuvimos un buen rato allí sentados pero lo estabamos disfrutando.
There is also the option of touring the park by renting small carts, which are available for one person or for a family of four. They looked quite interesting, but we preferred to walk and enjoyed watching Olivia ride her tricycle. The good thing is that if you get tired, there are many benches in the park where you can relax, which is what we did. Our first stop was to look at a fountain with a sculpture in the center that looked quite interesting. Near this fountain, there is another one with some flowers in front of it that gave it a spectacular touch. Then we went to see the pond, which was full of ducks, and Olivia was delighted to see them up close, so we sat there for a while, but we were enjoying it.
Y en este parque no solo vas a pasear, también tienes la posibilidad de disfrutar de un rico y fresco helado, yo decidí probar uno de mandarina y estaba delicioso, además fue perfecto para el clima de ese día, ah y claro que hay parque infantil allí adentro y por supuesto que Olivia disfrutó un rato en este, lo bueno es que tiene varias atracciones y ella se divirtió mucho. Finalmente vimos unas escaleras que daban a un camino y mi esposo y yo decidimos ir a echarle un vistazo y como ven era el camino hacia otro grande y lindo estanque donde también estuvimos un buen rato disfrutando de la vista y mientras tanto Olivia seguía andando su triciclo allí y es que allí hay muchos caminos para andar. Sin duda alguna a los 3 nos encantó este parque porque como les dije antes es perfecto para pasear en familia, rodearte de naturaleza y relajarte en alguna banca con hermosas vistas por lo que se los recomiendo mucho.
And in this park, you don't just go for a walk, you also have the chance to enjoy a delicious, fresh ice cream. I decided to try a tangerine one, and it was delicious. It was also perfect for the weather that day. Oh, and of course, there's a playground inside, and Olivia had a great time there. The good thing is that it has several attractions, and she had a lot of fun. Finally, we saw some stairs that led to a path, and my husband and I decided to go check it out. As you can see, it was the path to another large and beautiful pond where we also spent a good while enjoying the view. Meanwhile, Olivia continued riding her tricycle there, as there are many paths to ride on. Without a doubt, the three of us loved this park because, as I said before, it's perfect for a family outing, surrounding yourself with nature, and relaxing on a bench with beautiful views, so I highly recommend it.
