• Four ponds named by kids: Prague schoolchildren named them Rudolfův, Šestáček, Zelený and Rozínek in 2001
• Playgrounds across the park, including a rope playground by the Výstaviště exhibition grounds, so pick the entrance nearest the one you want
• Big and flat, with 95 hectares on the river floodplain, so bring a scooter or bike for the long loops

Stromovka began in the 13th century as a royal game reserve and is now an English-style landscape park: lawns, old trees and four ponds on the Vltava floodplain. A long network of paths runs through it, good for walks, bikes and scooters.

Playgrounds are spread across the park, and the lawns are open for picnics. The Governor's Summerhouse, a Neo-Gothic summer palace, stands inside the park.
