Lasek Lipie is a managed forest park located on the southern outskirts of Tarnów, serving as a primary local hub for outdoor recreation and forest schooling. The area features a network of marked trails suitable for walking, jogging, and Nordic walking throughout the woodland terrain. It is officially designated as a place for nature education, featuring informational boards detailing the local flora and fauna.
