Štvanice

Until 1816, the island was used for dog hunts involving various animals such as bears, bulls, deer, and cows, although these were repeatedly banned.

It was here that in 1947, the Czechoslovakia men's national ice hockey team won the world championship for the first time.

[1] In 1986, an arena for the I. ČLTK Prague tennis club was built on Štvanice, with nine outdoor and two indoor courts.

The central court has a capacity of 8,000 seats and is the annual site of the ATP and WTA Prague Open tournaments.

This was of interest for being set up almost directly in the centre of Prague, near a hydropower plant and an adjustable water slalom track.
