Poland's Ministry of Climate and Environment lists 23 national parks among the bodies it supervises, and the ministry's older page on national parks gives the same number. We give the names exactly as the ministry writes them. Our table is adapted from the ministry's list and shared under the same CC BY-SA 4.0 licence.12
Which national parks does the ministry list?
The ministry's page lists 23 entries under the heading Parki narodowe; each is the park's own body, which carries the park's name.1 The ministry's archived page on national parks also refers to 23 Polish national parks.2

Can this list be reused?
The gov.pl footer says text published on the service is available under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 (CC BY-SA 4.0), while photos and other audiovisual material are under a non-commercial licence. We use the text list only, and no photos.1 Share-alike means that what we adapt from it must be shared under the same licence, which is why the table above is marked CC BY-SA 4.0.
What this page cannot tell you
- No regions or dates here. The ministry's page gives neither, so we add none.
- Seats are not shown. The page gives each park's seat in a Polish grammatical form that is not the town's name on its own, so we leave it out.

Key takeaways
- The ministry lists 23 national parks.
- Names are exactly as the ministry writes them, in Polish.
- The table is shared under CC BY-SA 4.0, like the ministry's text.
- What we would skip: reading the list as a ranking or a travel guide. It records an official designation; it says nothing about opening, access or conditions, so check each park's own information before you go.
