History

The Tri-City Landscape Park was established on May 3, 1979 by a Resolution of the Provincial National Council in Gdańsk. According to this resolution, the area of the park was 20,104 ha. The area of the park was changed twice. In 1994 (with effect from 1995), the area was increased to 20,312 ha (including by including forests south of Słowackiego Street, as well as municipal forests) and its buffer zone was designated after 15 years of operation. In 1998, a forest enclave of the village of Łężyce was separated from the area of TPK, which led to a reduction of the area to 19,930 ha.[1]
