Silesian Park managed by WPKiW S.A. ((ポーランド語:Park Sląski and Wojewodzki Park Kultury i Wypoczynku S.A.), abbreviated as ''WPKiW'' and translatable as ''Voivodship Park of Culture and Recreation S.A.'') is a recreation complex in the center of the Upper-Silesian Metropolis at a border of Chorzów and Katowice in Silesia, Poland.〔http://www.wpkiw.com.pl/wpkiw_ang/index.html〕 It is the largest city park of this type in Europe.〔http://www.wpkiw.com.pl/wpkiw_ang/about_us.html〕 The area of the park is 620 hectares. By comparison, it's almost twice as big as Central Park in New York. It was created in the 1950s from an initiative of local politician Jerzy Ziętek to restore an industrially-devastated piece of land in the middle of a highly urbanized area. In addition to the extensive green area, the following are located in the park: *Silesian Stadium *Silesian Zoological Garden *Silesian Planetarium *Silesian Amusement Park *Upper Silesian Ethnographic Park *Katowice International Fair Grounds * Stadium of GKS Katowice *Shooting range *a swimming-pool complex *a water sports center *tennis courts *the rose-garden *The Technical Progress Centre *a hotel complex, the Polish Tourist' Society and the Polish Scouts' Association district centers, restaurants, cafés and show pavilions where flower shows and other exhibits are held. ==Gallery== File:Śląski Ogród Zoologiczny - kotlina dinozaurów.jpg|The Dinosaurs Valley in Silesian Zoological Garden (reconstructions of prehistoric reptiles) File:WPKiW - 01.JPG Image:WPKiW - Rzeźba 01.JPG|One of the many sculptures within Silesian Central Park File:Kolejka chorzow.jpg 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Silesian Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
