Story
Aquaparczki — the collective name for the duo Moczypięta (Wet Feet) and Chlapibrzuch (Belly Splash) — are Wroclaw's most aquatically gifted dwarfs, bobbing proudly in their inflatable raft outside the main Aquapark Wroclaw on ul. Borowska 99. Sculptor Tomasz Moczek gave them the look of seasoned water-sports champions, and they carry themselves accordingly. The official legend says both have won dozens of gold medals at the Dwarf Olympics in events such as 'splashing water on time', 'team bubble blowing', and 'bowl racing' — disciplines you will not find in any human sporting almanac.
History & Significance
Moczypięta and Chlapibrzuch were created by sculptor Tomasz Moczek — the founding father of the Wroclaw dwarf tradition — and placed at Aquapark Wroclaw, ul. Borowska 99. The aquapark is one of the largest water parks in Poland and a hugely popular family destination in Wroclaw. The two dwarfs serve a dual purpose: by day they promote aquatic fun for visitors, and by night — according to local dwarf lore — they guard the pools from mischievous night-swimming krasnals.
Inspiration
Aquapark Wroclaw on ul. Borowska 99 is one of Poland's landmark leisure destinations, featuring indoor and outdoor pools, nine water slides, a sauna zone, and a children's splash area. The dwarfs were commissioned to embody the spirit of the aquapark — joyful, splashy, and always ready for the next dive — while adding a playful bronze landmark to the entrance area that families can visit even without buying a ticket.
