Eastern Łódź Parks 10k

This is a nice run just east of Piotrkowska (Łódź’ main street) through several parks. It’s nearly all on park & connector pedestrian paths, with a few short street connections. Includes Park Źródliska, Park nad Jasieniem, Park Baden-Powella/Park 3 Maja.

Start in Park Źródliska at the Cinema Museum in off al. Piłsudskiego. This is the city’s oldest park, and features a combination of open & wooded paths, and some gardens (MAP). Our loop of this park’s two sections is ~2.5 km. Exit the south end of Park Źródliska I, crossing Fabryczna, onto a pedestrian path heading east for 0.6 km, crossing the highway, into Park nad Jasieniem, which features paths and a small lake. Exit the north end, crossing Piłsudskiego again, and run north for 0.5 km on al. Szpitalna into Park Baden-Powella, which features some nice gardens. A loop is ~1.3 km. Continue west through the park to the adjacent Park 3 Maja, which is more wooded and features a nice fountain at its west end. For the final 1 km to the start, run south on one of the streets east of the highway back to Park Źródliska.
