Greenest neighbourhoods in Warszawa

Share of each Warszawa neighbourhood's own area covered by greenery and water, as a percentage. Parks, forests, meadows, water and protected areas counted together, without double-counting where they overlap.

How to read this

This is a share of the neighbourhood's area, not the distance to the nearest park. A large neighbourhood with one forest at its edge ranks high even when the walk from its centre is long — a limitation of the measure, not an error in it.

More than a quarter of the area is green in 17 of 18 measured neighbourhoods.

From 73% in Wesoła to 22% in Ursus — a 51 percentage-point range.
