Oliwa Park. Adam Mickiewicz historical Park in Gdansk, which is the last well-preserved Park. Today is an oasis of beauty and tranquillity in the centre.

The initiative of creation of the Park belonged to the Abbot Jack Rybinsk. The Park was formed on the model of the French gardens in the Baroque style by the gardener Chantalou.

The French section of the Park has two perpendicular to each other axes: North-South and East-West. In the southern part of the Park was created by a picturesque pond, which is currently used for fish farming. From East to West stretches a beautiful 112-metre long lime Avenue, where the trees were planted in two rows. It created the illusion that the sea begins immediately behind the garden. Cistercian monks called the alley "Path to eternity".

After the secularization located in the Park of the monastery in 1831, the Park became the property of Prussia, and an inspector was appointed Gustav Sandorf Under whose direction the Park was opened to the public. Subsequent changes in the Park was held in 1899-1929. Near old Conservatory were planted with Alpine plants, and the Conservatory was rebuilt in the greenhouse.

At the end of the Second world war the Park was severely damaged, but thanks to numerous drawings and photographs, he was returned to the original look. In 1955 the Park was a bust of Adam Mickiewicz to the centenary of his death, and the Park was renamed in his honor. In 1956 he founded the Botanical garden.

In 1971 the Park was entered in the register of subjects of the heritage of gdańsk.
