Summer Wild Ride – cycling emotions on Olivia’s patio

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

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.

It was a fantastic Children’s Day!

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

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.

June under sail

We live and work by the sea – so how could we not take advantage of this unique opportunity? In 2018, we launched Olivia Yacht Club, bringing together recreational sailing enthusiasts and seasoned sea dogs alike. And we’ve been sailing together ever since. We officially kicked off the 2025 sailing season as early as spring, and we’ve already held the Olivia Yacht Club Cup Regatta! A quick reminder: here at Olivia, sailing season is practically year-round – including June! So join us for after-work cruises on Wednesdays or full-day Sunday sailing adventures. Pick your date and catch the wind in your sails!

Sailing is not just a sport or a passion – it’s also a way to develop strategic thinking, teamwork, and mental resilience. And of course, it’s a fantastic way to spend time outdoors and – in our case – a wonderful opportunity to explore the beauty of the Gulf of Gdańsk together.

 

A tradition of excellence

Olivia Yacht Club was created together with Mateusz Kusznierewicz – one of Poland’s most outstanding sailors, Olympic champion in the Finn class (Atlanta 1996), and bronze medallist at the Athens Games (2004). A multiple world and European champion, he has shared his knowledge and experience with OYC members, inspiring them, teaching, and motivating continuous growth in sailing skills.

 

Although he no longer conducts regular training sessions, he still sails with Olivia whenever his schedule allows.

Year-round cruises on the Gulf of Gdańsk

Olivia Yacht Club organizes cruises all year round – spring, summer, and even winter expeditions! Sailings depart from both Gdańsk and Sopot, and one of their proud ambassadors is Maciej Kotarski, Director at Olivia Centre. He actively promotes winter sailing as a great way to build resilience and mental strength. He also enjoys sailing alongside crews from Nordea, Capgemini, Grid Dynamics, and Just Join IT.

 

Partnership with Premium Yachting

Thanks to our partnership with Premium Yachting, our members have access to modern yachts and professionally organized cruises. Together, we’re cultivating a sailing culture and inspiring people to push boundaries – both in sport and in professional life.

 

Join us in sailing and discovering new horizons!

 

Do you know the world’s most prestigious sailing races?
