Walory krajobrazowe i przyrodnicze Parku Wschodniego we Wrocławiu

Eastern Park is situated in the southeastern part of Wrocław, in Księże Małe district. Its history is relatively short in comparison with other green areas of this type in Wrocław. It was arranged at the beginning of the 20th century, in answer to the needs of citizens of an intensively expanding city. The exact date of origin of the conception by Paul Dannenberg is unknown, but it is known that earthwork was carried out from 1927 until 1929. Its specific location on an island surrounded by water of the Lower and Upper Oława rivers had an influence on species growing in the park (species of wetland area). Most of the trees are native species. The Forest stand is dominated by alder (Alnus glutinosa), besides these there is a significant number of oak (Quercus robur), maple (Acer campestre) and ash trees (Fraxinus exelsior). There are also a few interesting foreign species like: wingnut (Pterocarya fraxinifolia), oak (Quercus palustris), birch (Betula papyrifera) and cork tree (Phelodendron amurense). The park has remained in almost unchanged shape until the present day. Natural arrangement of plants and a great number of streams makes Eastern Park a place with great untapped recreational potential.
