Overview

Kolibki is a coastal park in Gdynia, Poland, situated at the historical border between Gdynia and Sopot. The site is notable for the 18th-century Kolibki Palace and its surrounding landscape park featuring forest trails. It serves as a multifunctional recreational space, frequently hosting seasonal open-air markets, fairs, and community events. The park landscape transitions from manicured garden areas near the historic estate to natural woodland pathways leading toward the Baltic coast. Its geographical position provides a sheltered green corridor between the urban coastline and the hilly Tricity Landscape Park. The area maintains historical significance as the former seat of the noble Wejher and Zielonka families.
