Overview

Malešice Park is a contemporary 9-hectare urban space in Prague 10 designed with a focus on active recreation and hydraulic landscape features. The park is anchored by a sophisticated water play area, which includes man-made streams, fountains, and interactive dams that circulate water through the site. It features extensive paved paths for inline skating and cycling, alongside a designated fitness circuit for outdoor training. The playground areas are divided by age group, featuring modern climbing structures and sensory play elements. Open green lawns surround the recreational zones, offering space for relaxation and picnics. The park was renovated in the early 2010s to incorporate sustainable drainage systems that feed into the water play features. It serves as a primary local hub for families and sports enthusiasts in the Malešice district. The layout utilizes the natural slope of the terrain to integrate the play areas into the landscape.
