The City of Gdańsk is revitalising Sobieszewo Island, the host area of the 26th World Scout Jamboree Poland 2027. As part of this process, an existing community facility is being redeveloped to better serve local residents and visitors, providing updated spaces for learning, meetings and community activities.

Heart of the Community

Sobieszewo Island, which will host the Jamboree, is undergoing a new phase of local development. The City of Gdańsk has launched a public tender for the redevelopment of an existing community centre located on Turystyczna Street, in the central part of the neighbourhood. The project aims to strengthen local educational and community functions while preserving the historical character of the area.

The works involve the adaptation of historic buildings, including a former bakery, and are expected to take approximately 14 months.

Updated features of the Community Centre

The investment focuses on adapting early 20th-century architecture to the current social functions. The main building will host:

  • A public library: expanding the local educational offer.
  • Workshop and meeting rooms: facilitating community dialogue and creative youth activities.
  • Wincenty Pol Memorial Room: celebrating the cultural heritage of the region.
  • Restored historic veranda: a traditional wooden structure that will return to its original service function.

In line with Gdańsk’s commitment to access and inclusion, the entire complex will be fully accessible to people with disabilities.

Sustainability

The project aligns with the sustainability goals of the City and the 26th World Scout Jamboree Poland 2027. A key feature is the advanced infrastructure for environmental protection, including a rainwater retention system with dedicated rain gardens.

The surrounding park area will be transformed into a high-quality public space. Turystyczna Street will feature recreational zones and a café garden, while Tęczowa Street will provide a green play area and modern parking for cars and bicycles.

The tender process is currently underway, with bid openings scheduled for 17 February.

 

Tender administered by the Directorate for the Development of the City of Gdańsk (Dyrekcja Rozbudowy Miasta Gdańska – DRMG); bids submitted via https://platformazakupowa.pl/transakcja/1253685; information based on official materials of the DRMG.
