park Elišky Suché

Park Elišky Suché is a small municipal park in Brno, in the Maloměřice a Obřany district, laid out along the bank of the Svitava River near Olší, Hamry and Říční streets. It's a neighborhood green space used mainly by residents of the surrounding housing blocks and houses — a spot for a walk, a dog outing, or a quiet break by the water, rather than a destination built for out-of-town sightseeing.

Where does the park's name come from?

The name honors Eliška Suchá (1930–2012), a nurse and community activist connected to Maloměřice a Obřany. Between 1997 and 2000 she served as deputy mayor of this Brno district, and during that time she was particularly active in environmental protection and local infrastructure development. The Brno City Council formally approved the park's name in her honor on June 9, 2015 — a commemoration granted several years after her death.

Where exactly is the park located?

The park sits in the Maloměřice cadastral area, around Olší street (near the address Olší 681/20), right along the Svitava riverbank. It borders Hamry and Říční streets, making it a natural connecting point for residents moving between these neighborhoods and the riverside promenade. This kind of location is typical for Brno's outer districts — more densely built up than the city center, yet still keeping easy access to greenery and water.

Who is this park for?

Given its scale and character, Park Elišky Suché is primarily a place for everyday local use — families with children, dog walkers, residents looking for a short break close to home. It isn't equipped with major tourist infrastructure and it doesn't feature on typical Brno sightseeing itineraries, but for anyone exploring Maloměřice a Obřany, say while walking along the Svitava, it can make a pleasant, quiet stop.
