Summary/Abstract: The article examines the representation and structure of logistic parks in the Czech Republic. Logistic parks in the article are complexes rented by park operators where more providers of logistics services perform their activities. A database of logistic parks has been created and analyzed by descriptive statistics and Pareto analysis methods. At the same time, two detailed case studies were carried out and information from secondary sources related to logistic real estate property was analyzed. It was found that there are many new logistic parks in the Czech Republic, whose launch was often facilitated by the state and more parks are under construction. The parks are exclusively privately owned and have a mixed structure of tenants (logistic firms and manufacturing companies). The providers of logistic services begin to prefer renting space in logistic parks to building and managing their own capacities. The following issues have been identified: the location of parks usually does not allow taking advantage of multimodality in transport, there are environmental constraints regarding the expansion of existing parks, and random method of tenant selection brings little support of synergy.
