Although Jiráskovy sady is the largest park in Litoměřice and is located in the very center of the city, until recently the possibilities of using it were very limited and most people only walked through the place. The original park was created gradually, probably on the foundations of the so-called Student meadow and two school playgrounds founded in the middle of the 19th century. More significant landscape and garden modifications were carried out in 1890–1892 and the last major reconstruction in the 1980s. In 2010, the city of Litoměřice received the support of the Transformation Foundation and the transformation of the orchards into a modern and functional urban space could begin.
The restoration of the park was accompanied by a series of events, where the locals were continuously informed about the project and were able to participate in the process in a creative way. In the very first year, the behavior, needs and wishes of the park's most frequent users were mapped in detail, and the task for the architects was thus made more precise. The study selected in the architectural competition went through further development, which reflected the suggestions of the office and people, who repeatedly had the opportunity to discuss the proposal directly with its authors during public discussions and commented walks through the park. Students from the University of Applied Arts completed the park space with original elements.
Today, Jiráskovy sady is a modern park with a clear composition fully compliant with the new operation. They offer a modified road network, new furniture, three children's and one sports playground, sunny meadows and a place for students to meet. At the same time as the park, the traffic playground was also completely renovated. Sensitive modifications of greenery "air" the park and facilitate its maintenance. The bar-code-like area composed of strips of turf, paving, concrete and mortar also features new water features and a pétanque area. This central space connected to the cafe creates the hitherto missing "heart" of the park.
