The park is named after Dr. Aleksander Majkowski, a pivotal figure in the Kashubian movement and author of the epic 'The Life and Adventures of Remus'.
The park contains the Neo-Classical Przebendowski Palace, which survived the world wars largely intact.
The Cedron River flowing through the park is historically significant as it was used to create the specific landscape layout of the Wejherowo Calvary.
Botanical surveys have identified specimen trees in the park that exceed 200 years of age.
The park underwent extensive revitalization in the early 2010s to restore its original 19th-century aesthetics.
It serves as a botanical connection point between the urban center and the surrounding Trójmiejski Landscape Park.
Aleksander Majkowski City Park serves as the primary green lungs of Wejherowo, spanning several hectares in the town center. The park features a preserved historical layout originating from the mid-19th century. A focal point of the grounds is the Przebendowski and Keyserlingk Palace, which currently houses the Museum of Kashubian-Pomeranian Literature and Music. The area incorporates the Cedron River, which winds through the landscape to form a series of interconnected ponds. Extensive walking paths provide access to centuries-old oak and linden trees. The park layout integrates seamlessly with the surrounding Calvery of Wejherowo, a significant regional pilgrimage site. Visitors can find various memorial plaques and sculptures dedicated to regional figures, including the park's namesake, Dr. Aleksander Majkowski. The grounds are maintained as a historical urban parkland with formal garden elements and wilder woodland sections.
