Strengths
One of the strengths of the recreation of Poland is that there are activities offered for all age groups, at all times of the day and year. There are endless opportunities for children, adolescents, adults, elders, families, couples, and single individuals to meet new people, get exercise, and have fun and spend time leisurely. At almost all of the above mentioned facilities there are programs offered for various ages, rather than targeted at just one.
Weaknesses
One weakness I noted is that while there are unique fitness and sports facilities, there is not one general, every day gym that the people of Poland can go to for free weights, cardio equipment, etc. There doesn't appear to be a gym where community members could go just to buy a month/year membership if desired. Also, some of the recreation facilities that are listed aren't actually located in Poland, but near it.
