Dětský Island

Dětský Island is an island on the Vltava River in Prague, Czech Republic. It lies in the Smíchov district of the city.

It is mentioned in texts as early as 1355. Until the 18th century, it was called Maltézský Island. Subsequently it was named after members of Prague's Jewish community who owned the land – Such names include Hykyšův, Funkovský, and Židovský.

The island was artificially enlarged with the construction of the Smíchov floodgates. The south of the Island was attached to Petržílkovského island and a long dividing wall was built on the north side. The floodgates have two locks and they bypass two weirs on the river.
