Prague 10 is planning to transform Malešický Park with the construction of a new restaurant and observation tower.
The project, designed by Amont Studio from Basel, Switzerland, won an international architectural competition, marking the next step in the park’s revitalization.
The cost of the project is estimated at 60 million crowns. The plan aims to breathe new life into the park by introducing a dining and leisure space that will cater to both locals and tourists.
The restaurant is designed to seat 50 guests indoors with space for an additional 90 seats on the terrace. The 30-meter observation tower promises to offer panoramic views of Prague, making it a standout feature in the city’s landscape.
“The goal of this architectural competition was to select the best design for a garden restaurant with an observation tower. This project will further develop the public infrastructure of Malešický Park,” said Martin Valovič, the head of Prague 10.
Valovič also noted that the proposed location for the restaurant seamlessly integrates with existing roads and structures, maintaining the urban landscape while leaving room for other park uses.
“Now, we will move forward with discussions on the next steps, including the preparation of project documentation and signing contracts,” Valovič said, though no specific timeline for construction has been established yet.
A key part of Malešický Park’s evolution
Malešický Park, originally a natural landscape park covering 8.8 hectares, has evolved into a well-loved urban park.
In 2013, the park underwent an extensive revitalization, funded by the EU, which expanded the recreational facilities for both passive and active use. Today, Malešický Park is one of the most visited green spaces in Prague 10, offering a variety of activities for families, athletes, and nature lovers alike.
The area designated for the restaurant is currently occupied by underused warehouses.
