Łazienki Park or Royal Baths Park (Polish: Park Łazienkowski, Łazienki Królewskie) is the largest park in Warsaw, Poland, occupying 76 hectares of the city center.

The park is within Warsaw's central district on Ujazdów Avenue, which is part of the Royal Route linking the Royal Castle with Wilanów Palace to the south of the park. While Ujazdów Castle is north of Łazienki Park

Łazienki Park was originally designed in the 17th century as a baths park for nobleman Stanisław Herakliusz Lubomirski. In the 18th century the park was transformed by Poland's last monarch, Stanislaus II Augustus for palaces, villas, classicist follies, and monuments. In 1918 it was officially made as a public park.

Łazienki is visited by tourists from all over Poland and the world, and serves as a venue for music, the arts, and culture. The park is also home to large number of wildlife.
