Source-derived summary

The Zadole Park is a park in Zadole, a part of the city of Katowice in Metropolis GZM. The park features an amphitheater for 800 persons, a swimming-pool complex, a cafe and a playground for children and walking alleys.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “park in Katowice, Poland” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q8064180. Authority coordinates are 50.217, 18.964. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1906 and 1914.

Critical limits

Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
