The park was established in the 19th century as part of the green belt surrounding the former fortress of Kolberg.
It is home to several monuments, including a memorial dedicated to the Polish writer Stefan Żeromski, who frequently visited Kołobrzeg.
The park contains a collection of 'monument trees', some of which are over 150 years old.
The park grounds were once part of the defensive glacis of the Prussian fortress.
The microclimate within the park is influenced by the aerosols from the Baltic Sea, historically promoted for respiratory health.
Stefan Żeromski Park is a historic coastal park in Kołobrzeg, spanning the area between the city's main seaside promenade and the Baltic Sea. The park features an extensive network of walking paths shaded by mature trees, including rare species of oak and beech. It functions as a green buffer zone separating the urban spa district from the sandy beach. The landscape design incorporates remnants of historical 19th-century fortification greenery. Visitors can access the beach directly from multiple points within the park’s northern perimeter. The area is integrated into the regional seaside bike path network. It serves as a primary recreational zone for residents and visitors throughout the year.
The elevated viewing points along the path where the treeline meets the sand dunes looking toward the lighthouse.
Bring a windbreaker even on sunny days, as coastal breezes can be significantly cooler than in the city center.
Use the park’s paved side paths to avoid the heavy pedestrian traffic found on the main coastal promenade during peak season.
Pack mosquito repellent if visiting during humid summer evenings, especially in the more densely wooded sections.
Avoid feeding the local bird population, as it disrupts the local ecosystem and attracts aggressive gulls.
Cyclists should stay on designated bike paths; dogs must be kept on a leash.
