What to do on a hot day in Prague.. Zlute Lazne
It has been really hot these last few days so one of the instructors in our class suggested that we visit Zlute Lazne.
It was wonderful!! It is a huge park/beach/sports center/playground on the river very close to the center of Prague.
It is free after 6PM. I think it is about $3.00 admission during the day. They also had plenty of parking for cars.
There was a huge kids playground and a fairly large kids shallow swimming pool.
There is a beach area (really the river but people were swimming) with real beach sand and a grassy area where people were just laying out on towels. Also had quite a few cabanas with tables that fit 4-8 people and hammocks.
There are volleyball nets, a DJ & dance floor, an adult workout area (punching bag,chin up bar, rope to climb), a nude bathing area (gated so you couln't see inside). Also had picnic tables beer/drinks & food (typical beach food).
People were rollerblading and biking; kids had scooters.
Lots of families, lovers & singles.
They have a website but it is in Czech. There are pictures an a map of the grounds.

I got there by tram #17 (then I took #3 on the return) - the stop is called Dvorce which drops you off at the front gate. There were lots of other trams passing by as well. I didn't get the numbers but if you look at the tram schedule it will give you the numbers. It's about 9 tram stops from Wenseslas Square and also 9 from the Charles Bridge.
Just found an English site - here's what it reads:
In June, 2005 the gates opened of the modernized area, tuned in the retro style of the thirties of the 20th century. The popular place at the bank of the Vltava river, where the citizens of Prague have come for almost a hundred years already for recreation, rest and sports, has the area of 3. 5 hectares. Available is a sand beach with hammocks, a children corner, padding pool with slides, nude beach, beer terraces with more than 2 500 places, restaurant and Internet café. The sports offer is represented, e.g., by five beach-volleyball courts, a football cage, twelve grounds for pétanque, table tennis, streetball, three-metres climbing wall, chess with giant figures, foot-netball, boats, pedal boats and lending office of sports equipment and motor boats. Situated in the area of Žluté láznì (the Yellow spa) is the lending office of popular dragon boats for twenty-member crews, paddling according to the rhythm. Beginning from 2006 anchored at the bank will be a more than 70 m long reservoir ship with built-in swimming pool, roofed beaches, cabins and sauna.
All the year round, daily 8:00–2:00
Tram:
metro to Karlovo námìstí then tram 3, 16, 17, 21, 52 (to Dvorce)
Bus:
metro to Budìjovická - then 118, 124 (koneèná zastávka Dvorce)
