City Park named after Stanislav Staszic is a city park located in the Polish city of Kielce, in the city center, at the foot of the Castle Hill. The park is one of the oldest in Poland, occupying an area of 7 hectares. In the western part of the park, there is a pond with a fountain, which has long become a meeting place for townspeople and city guests.

The first mention of the park dates back to 1804, when the park was described as an ornamental Italian garden. In 1818, a main alley and gazebos appeared in the park. In 1830, the Administrative Council of the Kingdom of Poland decided on the need to create a full-fledged recreation site for urban residents. After this decision, the organization and decoration of the park began, a fence appeared around its territory. Architects participated in the development of the project: Wilhelm Gersh, Charles Meiser, Alexander Dudin-Borkovsky. In 1835, 2 Baroque sculptures, brought from a Cistercian monastery, appeared in the park. One of the sculptures - the statue of St. John of Nepomuk is still located by the pond. In 1872, lanterns were installed on the main park alley.
