Park im. Jana Pawła II, Public park in Ursynów district, Warsaw, Poland
Description
Park im. Jana Pawla II is a public green space featuring walking paths, children's play areas, and sports facilities for various activities. A brine graduation tower called Maciejka and illuminated fountains with multiple water jets are also found throughout the grounds.
History
The park officially opened on May 18, 2000, established to mark Pope John Paul II's 80th birthday. The inauguration ceremony was led by Bishop Marian Dusi, formally dedicating this new public space.
Culture
The park honors Pope John Paul II through its name and a memorial stone within its grounds. Another stone commemorates Polish citizens who were deported to Siberia, making the space a place where visitors can reflect on these historical connections.
Practical
The brine tower Maciejka operates daily from 8:30 AM to 9:30 PM and allows visitors to breathe salt-enriched air for health benefits. The park has plenty of shaded areas under trees and cover from rain, making it a pleasant place to spend time regardless of weather.
