Residents of the Na Groši housing estate can enjoy the new park. Let’s look for him in Hostivar in the fifteenth district. However, a lot of time passed from the very idea of its creation to its ceremonial opening.
The place is located between Pražská and Za draha streets and adjacent tracks connecting the railway stations Prague-Zahradní město and Prague-Hostivař.
A few years ago, it was an area that was full of overgrown trees with unsightly corners, where mainly the homeless stayed. The first phase was the felling of invasive trees, the pruning of mature trees and the reclamation of the terrain.
Civic associations then initiated negotiations with the town hall, which eventually led to an official demand for the construction of a new park.
The result is a new Pražská park with an area of 4,200 square meters with several original trees, complemented by suitable new plantings. The rest of the greenery is made up of grassy areas. Individual parts of the park are connected by threshing paths. There are benches near them, and another part of the new park’s inventory are chess tables, game tables, sports fields and drinking fountains.
In the southern part of the site there is a dog agility field, but also a fenced meadow designed for the safe free movement of dogs.

When creating the new park, ecological thinking was already in place, and thus spaces were created for the intensive soaking of rainwater into the terrain. The new Pražská Park will thus help more intensive water retention in the landscape.
“A good thing was done and I’m glad that our Fifteen is a little nicer again,” stated on the website of the municipal district for the opening of the park by Deputy Mayor Michal Frauenterka (Together for Prague 15).
However, the joy of the park is complicated by the unresolved traffic situation in its vicinity. The promised construction of a crossing over Pražská Street failed due to the prolonged reconstruction of this street. The capital city of Prague has promised to build the crossing next year.
