Henryk Jordan Park
al. 3 Maja 11, 30-059 Kraków
Historic public garden with tree-lined paths and stone busts of notable Poles among the greenery.
This guide to Henryk Jordan Park in Kraków opens with the doctor it's named for watching his brand-new playground fail to hold the boys he built it for. It traces Jordan's path from studying physical education in America to opening this ground beside the Błonia meadow in 1889 as one of Europe's first free public playgrounds, open to children regardless of class. Stone busts of Polish writers and scientists, already standing here by 1914, still line the paths among the trees.
