When looking for a place to visit for your Sunday stroll in Gdańsk, there aren’t many spots than Alfa Park housing estate and its immediate surroundings.
In fact, it’s become a tradition for my wife and me to drive to Alfa Park after Sunday lunch and spend time in the area.
Where is the Alfa Park Housing Estate?
Alfa Park is spread across the eastern outskirts of Jasień district and the western outskirts of Piecki-Migowo. The estate lies just off Myśliwska Street.
The Alfa Park investment
Construction of the first stage of Alfa Park began in 2011. Some 12 years later, the fifth and final stage of construction was completed in the fourth quarter of 2023. The four buildings belonging to Stage 5 are located within close vicinity to the PKM Railway line, Wróbel reservoir (Staw Wróbla) and a forest.
Residents living in the newest buildings belonging to Stage 5 are certainly spoilt for choice when it comes to recreational areas for adults, to rest, and children, to play. There’s also a small pier and a beach nearby. Building D opposite the car park for users of PKM rail services also has two cafes side-by-side. One of the cafes is called Szach cafe. In Szach, which means ‘chess’, people really do play chess.
What is there to see and do near the Alfa Park estate?
Undoubtedly, the most alluring feature of the Alfa Park complex is its proximity to Staw Wróbla water reservoir. Indeed, many apartments come with a view of the water. On the west side of the reservoir, there’s a recreational area which boasts a children’s playground, mini pier and a relaxation area with benches and tables.
Doing a Steady Trade
In the middle of the Alfa Park estate, just to the west of Staw Wróbla, there is a little street with a bakery, beauty salon, restaurants and bars. There’s also a small supermarket – Lewiatan – which is better than your average Żabka. Like most Żabka stores, Lewiatan is also open on Sundays.
Jasień Reservoir and Tricity Landscape Park
On the other side of the train tracks, residents of the estate are in for a treat in the form of Jasień reservoir. Around this piece of water, there’s a children’s playground, outdoor gym, benches and a path for hikers, skaters and cyclists.
Finally, there’s the stunning backdrop of Tri-city Landscape Park. In just a few minutes, residents of Alfa Park can be walking, cycling or having a picnic in the bosom of nature.
Public transport options nearby Alfa Park
One of the most notable perks of living on the Alfa Park estate is the immediate proximity to the PKM railway line.
From the nearby Gdańsk Jasień railway stop, there are direct connections to the Kasubian town of Kartuzy, Gdańsk airport, Sopot, Gdynia and Wrzeszcz.
As for bus connections, buses 127, 130 and 155 leave from the terminal just above the railway line:
127 ➡️ Wrzeszcz, Galeria Bałtycka, Zaspa, Przymorze, Oliwa
130 ➡️ Gdańsk city centre
155 ➡️ Morski Park shopping centre + Designer Outlet / Łostowice Świętokrzyska
Comments
I’m naturally drawn to nature – water and forests. Considering Alfa Park’s proximity to Tri-City landscape park and two pieces of water, I consider the estate to be one of the most attractive housing propositions in Gdańsk.
Moreover, although I have a car, I prefer to use public transport rather than drive around the city. Having the PKM train line nearby is a huge asset for residents of Alfa Park.
