Introduction:
The studied recreation areas “Park Zadole”, “Źródła Boliny Południowej” and “Wesoła Fala” are situated in the eastern part of the Silesian Province, within Upper Silesian Industrial District. Many areas in this region were converted mainly by the mining and the metallurgy. In many places it leaded to the lowering of the health of the fl ora and the strong deterioration of its habitat.

Material and Methods:
The bibliographical studies and the local florisric research that have been carried out in the vegetation season 2008-2009 in the area of the three recreational resorts, allowed a detailed floristic-ecological analysis of the flora and the evaluation of the natural resources of vascular plants taking into consideration medical plants. An alphabetical list of species of the vascular flora was carried out, taking listed resorts into consideration. Detailed statistic analysis contains important features considering: 1-using species in given category of the health care and homeopathy, 2-possibility of acquiring kind of medicinal raw material, 3-diversity of species as regards the pharmacological influence, 4-diversity of flora as regards biologically active contents of endogenic chemical substances, also medicinal, 5- group of 15 other functional features of the whole included in an inventory plants species. The gained results have been presented in histograms.

Results:
As a result of the research I have confirmed an existence of 358 species of vascular plants, where 291 species have curative properties and 108 are used in a homeopathy. There are 18 legally protected species. 13 of them are fully protected and 5 species are partially protected.

Conclusions:
The studied recreation areas are characterized by quite rich degree of the species diversity. Such aspects as influence of environmental conditions on the vegetable raw material have to be considered and therefore, it cannot be used for pharmaceutical purposes. Nevertheless, thanks to its floristic diversity, the examined area is a natural gene bank for medicinal plants. Abundant populations of many of them can provide seeds for their cultivation outside the area of intensive large-industrial contaminating.
