It is the oldest public park in Łódź, originally dating back to the early industrial development period.
The park features several centuries-old English oaks (Quercus robur) that are officially registered as natural monuments.
It was originally part of the private residential estate of the Scheibler industrialist family.
The park is directly adjacent to the 'Źródliska II' park, separated by a street but forming a continuous green axis.
It contains a collection of rare tree species introduced during the 19th-century landscaping phase.
The park's name refers to the historical springs that once emerged in this area before industrial urbanization.
Park Źródliska I is the oldest park in Łódź, established in 1840 as a private garden for the factory owner Karol Scheibler. It is recognized as a historic monument and serves as a centerpiece of the city's green belt. The park features an extensive collection of ancient oaks, some of which are protected as natural monuments. It is physically connected to the Palm House (Palmiarnia) complex, which houses a collection of exotic plants. The layout reflects a mix of geometric garden design and informal 19th-century landscaping. Narrow, winding walkways traverse the hilly terrain, crossing over small bridges and past a central fountain. It serves as a vital ecological corridor in the urban center. Maintenance teams prioritize the preservation of the original botanical inventory.

Look for the designated information plaques near the oldest oak trees to learn about the park's biological history.
Bring a camera to capture the play of light through the dense, centuries-old canopy.
Do not mistake the smaller, separate Park Źródliska II for the main historic section if you are looking for the oldest botanical features.
Stay on marked paths to protect the delicate root systems of the historic oak trees; do not feed local waterfowl.
