The Mayor Zbigniew Jurkiewicz Health Park in Ciężkowice is a place you must visit. The official opening of the park took place on June 25, 2021.

Within the park, you will find a rich recreational and tourist infrastructure, including hydrotherapy facilities, an alpinarium, an arboretum, pools with mineral baths, a network of alleys, a heathland, an outdoor gym, a playground, water gardens, a graduation tower, a sensory garden, and much more. The location of the park allows for fascinating hiking trips, during which you can visit attractions such as the Witches' Gorge and the Skamieniałe Miasto reserve. The facility also offers service points and a tourist information office to assist visitors.

The Health Park is located in the immediate vicinity of Skamieniałe Miasto, Wąwóz Czarownic, and the market square in Ciężkowice. It is situated on the slope descending from the Skała hill (367 meters above sea level) in the north-east direction. Just a 5-minute walk from Skałka z krzyżem, the highest rock in the Skamieniałe Miasto reserve, is the entrance to the Health Park.

A remarkable attraction at the Health Park is the treetop walkway. This over 1000-meter walking route on Pogórze Ciężkowickie reaches a height of 370 meters above sea level. It is a perfect place for family recreation, fascinating nature excursions, and inspiring encounters with nature, encouraging exploration of the charms of the region. Along the route, there are stops for ecological, forest, and natural education, and from the viewing points, there are splendid views. The highest point of the walkway is 22 meters above ground level. It is a unique attraction in the Carpathian Foothills!

An important piece of information is that there are sulfur springs in Ciężkowice and the surrounding areas, such as the intake in Rakutowa or Polichty. The Health Park introduces the concept of therapy based on hydrotherapy, kinesiotherapy, dietetics, phytotherapy, and curative therapy according to the teachings of Father Sebastian Kneipp. The Health Park offers the opportunity to discover a healthy lifestyle, eliminate unhealthy habits, and find relaxation. It provides vast possibilities for the development of not only hydrotherapy but also other elements of this comprehensive therapeutic system.
