Overview

Borský park is the largest urban park in Plzeň, spanning approximately 40 hectares in the southern part of the city. Established in the early 20th century, the park features a network of paved paths lined with mature deciduous trees. It serves as a primary recreational hub for the Jižní Předměstí district. The park includes designated areas for inline skating, cycling, and jogging. A memorial dedicated to the victims of the Second World War stands within its grounds. The park functions as a green buffer between the residential zone and the nearby university campus. Large open grassy clearings provide space for spontaneous sports and picnics.
