Silesian Park (Polish: Park Śląski) is a recreation complex in the center of the Metropolis GZM, located in Chorzów in Upper Silesia, Poland.[3] Silesian Park is managed by WPKiW S.A.

The area of the park is 620 hectares, twice as large as the Central Park in New York. Until 2012, the park was known under its formal name of "General Jerzy Ziętek Voivodeship Park of Culture and Recreation" (Wojewódzki Park Kultury i Wypoczynku im. gen. Jerzego Ziętka, abbreviated WPKiW), named after Jerzy Ziętek, a Silesian politician who headed the 1950s initiative to create this park.

It restored an industrially devastated piece of land in the middle of a highly urbanized area. As a result of the exchange of land during the construction of the Millennium district in Katowice in 1990s, the Silesian Park is entirely located within the administrative boundaries of Chorzów. However, it does not belong to any of its districts which emphasizes its regional character.
