Szczęśliwicki Park is a city park in Warsaw's Ochota district, between Włodarzewska and Drawska streets. It was created in the 1960s on land that had been used for clay quarries and landfills, which had not been previously built on due to the proximity of the Warsaw Fortress forts. The reclaimed areas were developed socially - water reservoirs and a ski slope were created, and most of the area was wooded. The park has a sports and recreational character - it includes Glinianki Szczęśliwickie (approx. 7 ha), a year-round ski slope (Górka Szczęśliwicka, 138-152 m above sea level), an open swimming pool, playing fields and OSiR facilities. The water reservoirs are stocked and supervised by angling (PZW Circle No. 7). In 2020, the wooden pier was renovated. The park has natural significance - there are many species of birds here (approx. 70), as well as amphibians and fish. The flora includes poplars, maples, limes and other pioneer species. Despite the anthropogenic origin of the substrate and degraded soil, the area is an important haven of biodiversity in Warsaw.

Kopa Cwila is an artificial hill located in the Ursynów district of Warsaw, in Roman Kozłowski Park. The hill was built in the 1970s from soil from excavations for the construction of apartment blocks and roads, as well as from damaged prefabricated elements that were to be used to build nearby buildings. Initially, it was planned for this place to be a park with a central hill. The idea of building the hill came from engineer Henryk Cwila, chief inspector at the Warsaw Directorate for Cooperative Investments, whose name became the name of the hill. In culture, Kopa Cwila became known thanks to the music video for the song "Ten wasz świat" by the band Oddział Zamknięty from 1983. In 2021, it also became the subject of episodes of the series "Blok Ekipa" broadcast by SPInka Film Studio.

The Saxon Garden is one of the oldest city parks in Warsaw, located in the city center. Founded in the early 18th century as a palace garden, in 1727 it became the first public park in Poland. Initially maintained in the French style, in the 19th century it was transformed into a landscape park. For years it was a place of recreation, concerts and cultural events. Partially destroyed during World War II, it was restored after 1945. The park includes, among others, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Marconi Fountain and numerous historic sculptures.

The garden was laid out in the Baroque style between 1713 and 1733 at the instigation of the Saxon-Polish King Augustus II the Strong from the House of Wettin. In 1727, the king opened the garden for use by the public, which was the first time this had happened in Poland.[1] In the mid-19th century, the planner Enrico Marconi created a pond, a water reservoir in the shape of the Temple of Vesta from Tivoli and a large fountain (1855). The 21 allegorical sandstone sculptures in the park were mostly created in the workshop of Johann Georg Plersch. They show the four seasons, the sciences and the arts.

The Great Fountain in the Saxon Garden. It was launched almost 160 years ago, during the ceremonial opening of the municipal waterworks in Warsaw. It is one of four designed by Henryk Marconi and the only surviving fountain located at Teatralny Square, by Zygmunt's Column and on the Old Town Market Square.

Raszyn Ponds is a faunal nature reserve in the Raszyn commune, protecting a rich ecosystem of water and marsh birds. It includes several ponds that were created in the 18th century and today serve both a protective and economic function. The reserve has an area of over 155 ha and is under active protection. It is an important place for ornithologists - about 100 species of birds nest here, including grebes, swans, herons, cormorants and black-headed gulls. The ponds are surrounded by floodplain forests and reed beds, and valuable plant species grow on their areas, including orchids. The reserve is open to tourists - there are observation towers here, as well as monuments such as the Baroque statue of God the Father and the Tchorek plaque commemorating the victims of executions from World War II.
