Opening season at Forest Potok in Bolesławiec

The Municipal Sports and Recreation Centre in Bolesławiec invites you to Leśny Potok at Jeleniogórska Street in Bolesławiec.

The complex is divided into a section of swimming and plant filters – water filtered through the plant biosystem, without the involvement of chemicals. In the complex there are also technical facilities, cloakroom and catering facilities, pedestrian-driving, playground, beach volleyball, tennis courts, a jetty for anglers. The area is fenced and illuminated. At the complex there is a parking lot for 66 parking spaces.

In the pre-war period, the tank was used as a place of recreation, it also served as a retention tank. During World War II, the facility was partially destroyed and used until the end of the 1970s by the military. Thanks to the revitalization of the water reservoir, a small retention object was reconstructed, which organizes the hydrological and flood-proof situation in the city.
