The park was constructed on the grounds of a former industrial area and brewery site, integrating elements of the city's 19th-century urban fabric.
The project received the 'Architectural Award of the Year' in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship upon its completion.
It is intentionally designed as a 'linear park' that follows the natural meandering of the Łyna River through the city center.
The park features an outdoor stage used for municipal cultural events and concerts.
A specialized pond with aquatic plants serves as part of a natural bio-filtration system for the park’s water features.
Central Park (Park Centralny) in Olsztyn is a modern urban green space situated along the Łyna River, officially opened in 2014. The park serves as a hub for both recreation and historical connection, featuring extensive walking paths and cycling routes. It incorporates the historic building of the former 'Grand Hotel' and connects directly to the nearby Museum of Nature. The area is notable for its innovative use of water features, including fountains and a wooden footbridge spanning the river. It was designed to revitalize a formerly neglected area of the city center into a cohesive landscape architecture project. The site includes specialized zones for children, adult fitness areas, and open lawns for public gathering.

Use the wooden footbridge for the best vantage point of the river and the surrounding city architecture.
Combine your visit with a walk to the adjacent Museum of Nature located just across the river bank.
Bring a bicycle, as the park is part of a larger network of dedicated cycling paths that run through Olsztyn.
Do not attempt to swim in the decorative fountains or the river, as they are not designated swimming areas.
Respect noise levels near residential areas bordering the park; keep dogs on a leash.
