Kościuszko Park

Its foundation dates back to 1888 when a municipal park was founded on the 6 ha area of suburban grove.

In the park there are several structures, such as a commemorative plaque funded for the patron, Tadeusz Kościuszko, by the people of Katowice in 1925.

Not far from it there is a monument commemorating the heroic participation of scouts in the defence of the town against the Nazi invaders in 1939.

The park also houses a permanent gallery of plein-air sculpture, collecting works of famous artists of the region: Zygmunt Brachmanski, Augustyn Dyrda, Joachim Krakowczyk, Piotr Latoska, Jacek Sarapata, Andrzej Szczepaniec.

Nearby there is a military cemetery from the interbellum, and toward the centre there is a sports stadium of the Physical Training Academy.
