The terrain of the Park, which rises to an altitude of 234 - 238 meters above sea level, is flat, plain and marshy in places. In terms of relief, it is a pre-valley of the upper Wiercica and Pilica rivers, constituting aand traces of periodic water flow from the time of the Central Polish glaciation. A characteristic feature of the park is the presence of numerous streams, ponds and marshes. Under these conditions, characteristic vegetation such as alder, low oak-hornbeam and riparian forests developed. The most valuable forest areas have been protected as the "Great Forest" nature reserve and the "Babski Forest" nature preserve. - The "Great Forest" reserve with an area of 32.27 hectares, established in 1953, protects a complex of wet forests. The nearly 120-year-old stand consists mainly of black alder and ash. - In the "Babski Las" area fragments of fir forest and oak-hornbeam with magnificent pedunculate oaks are particularly valuable. In addition to forests, the park has also developed bogs and mid-forest meadows. Some of the most interesting plants found in the area include yellow scythe, impatiens cress, coral lilac, juniper fork, white coltsfoot, forest gnatcatcher, and mountain abacus. Due to the wet areas and favorable habitat, the park is home to such animals as the marsh harrier, black stork, crane, newt, gray toad, sand lizard, viviparous lizard, and blindworm, among others.
