Summary/Abstract: The paper is a case study of the social conflict which is taking place in the 8th District – Dębniki in Cracow. The shores of the artificial lake are one of favourite recreational places in the city but also the area of conflict of the NIMBY type in Cracow. The text argues that, apart from the matter of access to public goods, the entire dispute should focus on the notions of ”nature” and “place”, which are constantly being redefined and represented by all sides of the conflict.
