In the post-war period the site of the Fort Winiary was converted into Cytadela park.

A rosarium is located near the northern edge of the park, and an amphitheatre (now disused) was built at the eastern end, on the site of Ravelin IV.

The park contains a large number of walkways and open spaces, and various open-air sculpture displays.

These include a Commonwealth cemetery ("Poznań Old Garrison Cemetery"), set up after World War I, and containing graves mostly of prisoners-of-war from World War I and airmen from World War II (many killed during bombing of Stettin, now Szczecin; but some – including at least one Polish airman, Pawel "Peter" Tobolski[1] – murdered by the Gestapo after the "Great Escape" from Stalag Luft III in 1944).

A "Heroes' Monument" overlooks the cemeteries, standing at the top of the flight of steps which form the main entrance to the park.
