Hostivař Dam is the largest body of water in Prague and one of the city’s most popular natural swimming areas. Located in the middle of the Hostivař Forest Park, it combines swimming, nature, sports, and relaxation. Families appreciate the clean water, large grassy areas, gentle entry into the water, and a wide range of activities. Although close to the city center, it feels like a peaceful escape.
The area includes a main beach, nudist beach, sports facilities, children’s attractions, a wakeboard cable, paddleboard center, giant trampolines, a water slide, beach volleyball courts, and plenty of food stands. During summer, the dam hosts regular events for children and adults – workshops, competitions, outdoor cinema, and even free weekend childcare.
Hostivař Dam is perfect for a full‑day family trip. Kids can enjoy the water and attractions, while parents relax on the beach or join in on sports activities. Thanks to its natural setting, large capacity, and friendly atmosphere, it’s one of the most beloved summer spots in Prague.
