A new city park will be developed in Warsaw as part of the Wilanów Park project, with plans to create a green space designed to meet the needs of local residents. The project, managed by Nhood Services Poland on behalf of real estate company Ceetrus, will offer a variety of landscapes and designated zones for different activities. The park is expected to open in 2028 and will provide a much-needed natural space for the community.
The two-hectare park is being designed in partnership with the local community and the Wilanów District Office. The concept was developed by RS Landscape Architecture, the winning firm in an open architectural competition organized by the Warsaw Branch of SARP. The park’s layout is intended to reflect the natural landscape of the area, incorporating varied terrain, water reservoirs, and diverse vegetation.
“The aim is to create a space that appeals to people of all ages, whether they are looking for active recreation or a quiet place to relax,” said Agnieszka Gasparska, a landscape architect from RS Landscape Architecture. “Our design draws inspiration from the natural features of the valley, integrating water elements and multi-species greenery.”
The park will occupy over 20,000 square meters, approximately one-third of the total Wilanów Park development area. The investment, including the park, has already received environmental approval.
The park will be divided into zones that accommodate various activities, including sports, relaxation, and community events. It will feature playgrounds, picnic areas, and pet-friendly spaces. A designated area will host outdoor events, and a café with a rest area for cyclists will be included. The park will also be designed with accessibility in mind, featuring wheelchair-friendly paths and spaces suited for visitors with different mobility needs.
The landscape will include water reservoirs that serve both aesthetic and functional purposes, supporting sustainable water management by collecting rainwater from roofs and paved surfaces. The park’s biodiversity will be enhanced with plant species that attract birds and small wildlife, as well as flower meadows maintained to support pollinating insects. Insect boxes will be installed throughout the area.
The city park will be developed alongside the Wilanów Park project, which is being built in the southern part of Warsaw, near Miasteczko Wilanów. The development is located within the area of Uprawna, Przyczółkowa, Karuzela, and Aleja Rzeczypospolitej streets.
Nhood Services Poland is overseeing the project’s planning and execution. The development has received the BREEAM Communities Interim certificate, a sustainability standard for projects at the design stage. Further environmental certifications, including the BREEAM New Construction Interim and Final certificates, will be pursued before and after construction.
The new park aims to enhance the quality of life in Wilanów by offering a well-designed green space that balances recreational functions with ecological sustainability.
