Grass rest areas in the Royal Łazienki gardens
Following further expert assessments in the historic gardens of the Royal Łazienki Museum, grass rest areas have been designated.
In the historic gardens of the Royal Łazienki Museum, work is still underway to remove the effects of the July storm, which damaged the tree stand on an unprecedented scale (over 100 windthrows and tree debris). Thereafter, for safety reasons, an extensive area was excluded from use, including the grass lawns. Following intensive cleaning work and a review of the tree stand, a significant part of the Łazienki gardens has been opened to the public (Click on this link for information on the areas currently excluded).
Following expert assessments, in accordance with the etiquette and rules of the Royal Łazienki gardens, the grass rest areas (yellow dots on the map above) have also been specified. These are six sites that have been inspected to ensure the highest level of visitor safety, which is a priority for the Museum. However, we recommend that you do not stay directly under the treetops in the designated zones.
The grass rest areas are the following:
► Recreational area behind the Hermitage (along Myśliwiecka Street);
► Lawn behind the Officer Cadets School building (between the Officer Cadets School and the upper part of the Northern Pond)
► Lawn between the New Guardhouse (Café Trou Madame) and the western bridge of the Palace on the Isle;
► Area by the Chopin Monument and the pond;
► Lawns in front of the entrance to the New Orangery (Belvedere restaurant);
► Lawn to the north of the playground along Parkowa Street.

We would like to remind you that, in accordance with the etiquette and rules of the Łazienki gardens, it is forbidden to step on the lawns outside the designated areas.
According to expert recommendations, the exclusion of some of the lawns from use was reasonable and necessary in order to improve soil properties and the conditions of plant habitat. The lawns help prevent erosion and improve water retention, which has a significant impact on the entire ecosystem of the historic gardens of the Royal Łazienki Museum. This is particularly important in terms of safety in the event of weather anomalies, such as the July storm.
We thank our visitors for their support and understanding.
