Beach volleyball in the office center

Posted on by Katarzyna Halicka

Two beach volleyball courts were built in the largest Polish business center Olivia Centre. After the passion development clubs that have been developed for years, the time has come to create our own sports infrastructure. The new pitches have already started, and their popularity confirms that there is a demand for such infrastructure in business facilities.

 

I will not exaggerate if I say that Olivia is a unique place – says Maciej Olszewski, Director of the Communication Department of Olivia Centre. This is where the residents’ work, education and non-professional passions, including sports ones, intertwine and complement each other. A few years ago, in the Gdańsk Shipyard and in cooperation with our neighbour, we launched a beach volleyball court, which was a novelty if we think about business centres. In June 2025, we commissioned two additional, full-size pitches for employees already on the premises of Olivia Centre. And this is an absolute exception. The pitches are free of charge and, what makes them even more special, you can book them yourself. Planning games is therefore as easy as meetings in conference rooms. Effect? Employees use the pitches regularly, company and inter-company teams organize matches and mini-tournaments themselves; we also have already completed this year’s first Olivia Centre Beach Volleyball Tournament. We have almost 380 bookings in our database so far! Teams from Just Join IT, Ferchau, Griddynamics, Speeron, Graphcore, Bayer, Amazon, PwC, thyssenkrupp, Fujifilm, Speednet and Enspirion play here. Before the summer holidays, the pitches were eagerly used, especially in the morning, by students of neighbouring schools. Interestingly, in May they were mainly high school graduates, for whom volleyball was, I think, a great way to relieve stress. Sport is part of our broader wellbeing strategy, in which we support the activities of residents and care for their well-being and health. Beach volleyball has a low entry threshold, quickly and permanently connects people, it is outdoor movement, building good habits and team integration. Only advantages.

 

 

The pitches are full-size playing fields with a sand surface, located next to the newest building of Olivia Prime B. They are surrounded by flower meadows, which have been an additional attraction of the centre since the beginning of the season. Both pitches are in demand all day, 7 days a week. An online booking system is very helpful in their functioning. This makes these pitches more likely to be used by groups of players than pitches right on the seashore. Thanks to this, you can be sure that the pitch will be free and available immediately to play.

 

The system also helps in team building and mutual competition. In this way, it is easy to find partners to play and learn and set up a schedule of meetings and games between regular teams. Therefore, pitches play an important role in the integration of employees, creating the Olivia community – a group of diverse people who build a network of contacts also outside their organizations.

 

It is worth noting that in initiatives promoting physical activity, we are eager to use the potential of academic partnerships,” emphasizes Maciej Olszewski. We cooperate, among m.in, with the University of Gdańsk and the Gdańsk University of Technology, thanks to which employees from Olivia have access to high-quality infrastructure and good trainers.

In Olivia Centre, a project of building ambassador clubs has been developed for years – clubs for the development of employees’ passions, which are created on the basis of numerous interests and passions: from group sports, such as football, volleyball or basketball, to running together, mountain biking on the hills of the Tri-City Landscape Park, through the Olivia Yacht Club, a photography club, to the activity of the Olivia Centre Choir, bringing together 40 people from various companies from Olivia.

One of the values that we provide to our residents is a widely developed social and sports program – says Bogusław Wieczorek, the representative of the management board of Olivia Centre. Passion development clubs, which include sports projects, are very popular and are often a canvas for building a strong community, focused not only on business, but also on recreation and personal development. The research that we have been conducting for years confirms the high level of interest in such initiatives on the part of employees, and is appreciated by employers due to the importance of this project in the process of team integration, employee motivation and additional benefits associated with their residency in Olivia.

 

Summer Wild Ride – cycling emotions on Olivia’s patio

Posted on by Katarzyna Halicka

The weather was good, and so were the moods! “Summer on the patio. Summer Wild Ride” attracted lovers of two wheels and more. We have made sure that everyone can find something for themselves.

 

On July 25, our patio turned into an arena for summer activities. On Friday, we combined recreation, sport, relaxation and a great atmosphere. There was no shortage of attractions. At the CityFit stand, you had the opportunity to test your fitness and reflexes in dynamic cycling challenges – the best received vouchers for professional service. The team from Cycling Boutique rewarded for knowledge about the Tour De France, and under the Jucki Sport tent you could quickly repair your two-wheeler, get expert advice or just talk about bikes.

 

Flatland BMX workshops, conducted by the SlowB team – one of the best riders of this spectacular discipline – were very popular. Acrobatic shows on a bicycle attracted spectators and aroused sincere appreciation for the skills of the performers.

 

There was also a MEVO stand on site, where you could learn about the rules of using city bikes. The winners will receive prizes: vouchers for free rides.

 

There is also a relaxation zone. You could drink excellent coffee served from the Bike Café, as well as cool down with ice cream from Salted Caramel – what a perfect complement to a summer afternoon.

 

The event was open. The turnout was good, the weather and – most importantly – you were great!

 

Thank you and see you soon!

Knowledge under fire, or once again about the Grand Finale of the Olivia Football League

Posted on by Katarzyna Halicka

The end of the season in the Olivia Centre Football League is a time of great emotions and great celebration, as you know. This year’s award ceremony was no exception. But this year we decided to check out the … knowledge of players and fans. After all, the skills of the teams on the pitch have already been confirmed by the cup and medals.

 

The highlight of the evening was a football quiz prepared by the best of the best, i.e. PubQuiz. The competition moved from the pitch to the tables and we assure you that there was no shortage of emotions! The participants had to demonstrate comprehensive knowledge, from the history of Polish football, through interesting facts about international stars, to the details of the current competition.

 

Curious what the participants had to face? Here are some sample questions from the quiz:

 

  • Give the name of the club that is missing from Ebi Smolarek’s career path?
  • Where will the 2030 World Cup be played?
  • How many goals were scored in the finished Olivia League season?
  • Which club did Neymar play the most games for?
  • In the 2016/2017 season, Legia Warsaw was the last Polish team to play in the Champions League. Name 3 group rivals of the Polish team.

 

The quiz turned out to be a bull’s eye and a perfect complement to the sports gala.

 

 

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNERS:

2. GRID DYNAMICS

3. JUST JOIN IT

It was a fantastic Children’s Day!

Posted on by Katarzyna Halicka

On Saturday, June 7, the area of Primary School No. 35 in Oliwa turned into a real town of joy. We celebrated Children’s Day together – with a flourish, smile and lots of attractions that attracted whole families.

 

There were tasty stops in the Food Zone – casseroles, pizza, pancakes and ice cream disappeared in the blink of an eye. The Art Zone was teeming with colours – the participants painted, created and tested the premiere of the Oliwa District Game. In Edu Zone , we experimented, solved the Rubik’s Cube and solved puzzles. And since it is a sports school – Sport Zone was really impressive! Shorttrack, figure skating, hockey and Zumba shows attracted attention, and those willing could try their hand at tennis, handball or rollerblading. For many, it was an opportunity to discover new passions in themselves!

 

The Fun Zone provided a constant portion of laughter: face painting, Pixel XL competitions, huge blocks and firefighter shows – there was no time for boredom.

 

It was a special day – full of energy, fun and neighbourly integration. Thank you for being with us!

 

And since #RazemMożemyWięcej, we are all the more pleased that we were supported by irreplaceable Partners: Pixel XL, Oliwa Town Hall of Culture, AP Galaktikos, Ecofloral, Medicover Polska, Bank Pekao S.A. and the Park On-Parkinson Association in Oliwa. Thanks to you, this holiday had even more meaning, color and joy.

 

See you next year!

Safety Day 2025

Posted on by Katarzyna Halicka

For the third time, we organized Safety Day at Olivia – an event that reminds us in a practical way how important it is to care for safety in everyday and professional life.

 

Safety Day attracts more and more participants every year and emphasizes even more how important it is for us to take care of safety together. Thus, on June 4, Olivia’s patio turned into a meeting place with uniformed services and experts who shared their knowledge, experience and good practices – both everyday and necessary during holiday trips. We hosted the Police and the State Fire Service.

 

Policewomen from the Prevention Department of the Municipal Police Headquarters in Gdańsk and an officer from the police station in Oliwa talked about how to protect themselves and others, while showing their equipment and answering questions from children and adults. At the police station, there were also leaflets, gadgets and information about recruitment to the service.

 

Crash, rollover and wall crash simulators were very popular – a strong experience that stays in your memory for a long time and really encourages you to drive more carefully. Firefighters and paramedics also presented their capabilities – you could not only see their equipment, but also learn the basics of first aid.

 

There was also a good atmosphere – there were burgers, ice cream and live music. But what is most important is the awareness with which the participants returned to work and home.

 

Thank you for being with us. Because Safety Day is not just one event in the calendar – it is an expression of care for each other, which we take very seriously at Olivia.
