Characteristics
The main structures in the first stage of the revitalization were a suspension footbridge over the Opava River and an underpass under a class III road, thanks to which Městské sady park and Stříbrné jezero recreational area were connected. Natural and landscaping improvements were made, new roads, pavements, hardened areas and a new gravity sewage sewer system, including a pumping station, were built. A relief channel was dug for collision-free outflow and lake level regulation. After the lake’s banks were modified, a natural area called Children’s World was built.

- 15 mLength of underpass under road
Uniqueness of Structure
Territorial and technical conditions at the lake are quite complex. In 1997, the whole area was under water. The contract for the rugged terrain concerned not only protection of the countryside and river, as well as flood protection measures. A relief channel was excavated for collision-free outflow and regulation of the lake level.
As part of the revitalization, the shores of the lake were modified and the "Children's World" natural area was built, it also includes cascading stone tribunes made of Jurassic limestone and a dry riverbed, which was spanned by an almost 19 m long three-bay wooden footbridge.
