Landscape Park (Poland)

Landscape Park (Poland)

In Poland, a Landscape Park ( _pl. Park Krajobrazowy) is a type of protected area similar to a National Park, but with less stringent restrictions on development and economic use.

Legally, it is defined as an "area protected because of its natural, historical, cultural and scenic values, for the purpose of conserving and popularizing those values in conditions of balanced development".

A Landscape Park is created by order of the regional governor (voivode) following consultation with the council of the relevant gmina(s). As at 1 January 2008 there are 121 designated Landscape Parks throughout Poland, covering a total area of approximately convert|25000|km2|sqmi|-3.

For a listing, see list of Landscape Parks of Poland.
