History

In 1938, the Polski Country Club bought a 50-hectare area in Skarpa Powsińska from count Adam Branicki to build golf course. In the 1940s, during the occupation of Poland in the Second World War, it was turned into a farmland. In 1947, the land was donated to the city of Warsaw, for it to establish there a recreational area, named the Powsin Holiday Resort (Polish: Ośrodek Wczasów Świątecznych w Powsinie). In 1956, it was renamed to the Powsin Culture Park.

Characteristics

The Powsin Culture Park is located in the neighbourhood of Skarpa Powsińska, within the district of Ursynów, and near the border of Wilanów, at 1 Maślaków Street. It borders the Kabaty Woods and the Polish Academy of Sciences Botanical Garden – Powsin Centre for Biological Diversity Conservation. The park has the total area of 35 ha.

It is a recreational area with many sports and cultural amenities, including basketball and valleyball courts, swimmingpool, acoustical shell, and camping huts.

There grows a 24-metre-tall pedunculate oak tree, nicknamed Hetman, with the status of the natural monument.
