Hey, could you please write the rules of keeping/walking a dog in Poland in a topic "Dog keeping rules... blablabla.."?
I'm not the right person to write about the rules, I'm afraid, because I'm not a specialist in it at all, and my information wouldn't be precise.
But on the other hand, our Polish rules are not precise either, as usuall.

As far as I know each town has its own rules. And of course they mostly choose the most restrictive ones; as for example here in Katowice, where dogs should wear both; the leash and the muzzle at the same time (!) when in public places, which in practise means... always...
And what's more; there is no official playground for dogs in Katowice. So you see...

As for the beaches I heard that there are places, where you can come with a dog, but I'm not sure if all year round.

Oh! And there of course is the controversial law which lets any hunter with a gun to shoot at a dog wich is without its owner and looks... wild.
This law was introduced to prevent forest animals beeing chased by the wild dogs and thus to force controll over their dogs on the owners.
But of course so far there were accidents, when this law was abused and people lost their dog friends during ordinary walks...

That's what I can write.
I doubt it will be of any help to you.
There are people who have much more information than me.
