History
In 1938, the Polski Country Club bought a 50-hectare area in Skarpa Powsińska from count Adam Branicki to built there a golf course. In the 1940s, during the occupation of Poland in the Second World War, it was turned into a farmland. In 1947, the land was donated to the city of Warsaw, for it to establish there a recreational area, named the Powsin Holiday Resort (Polish: Ośrodek Wczasów Świątecznych w Powsinie). In 1956, it was renamed to the Powsin Culture Park.[1][2]
It is a recreational area with many sports and cultural amenities, including basketball and valleyball courts, swimmingpool, acoustical shell, and camping huts.[3][4]
