Park im. Jana Pawła II

Park im. Jana Pawła II, Public park in Ursynów district, Warsaw, Poland

Park im. Jana Pawła II is a green space in Warsaw's Ursynów district, designed by Dorota Sikora and laid out in 1999–2000. Two parallel alleys frame a view of Marek Budzyński's Church of the Ascension, with a fountain plaza before the church, a memorial boulder at the opposite end, a football pitch to the north and a playground to the south. The grounds also hold an outdoor gym, a brine graduation tower and an oligocene water intake.

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.

The park's name honours Pope John Paul II, and a memorial boulder near the underpass on Romera Street is dedicated to its patron. A second boulder in the grounds commemorates Poles deported to Siberia. The park opened on 18 May 2000, the pope's 80th birthday, with Bishop Marian Duś taking part in the ceremony.

The brine graduation tower Maciejka, 11 m long, 1.3 m wide and 3.65 m high, was opened on 1 July 2020 and stands on a pine and larch frame covered with blackthorn branches; its 7,000-litre tank holds brine from Ciechocinek. The park lies between Romera and Melodyjna streets, next to the Church of the Ascension, with the fountain square facing the church and the sports pitch to the north.

The planting plan specified 236 deciduous trees, 46 conifers, 3,781 deciduous shrubs and 567 coniferous shrubs. The park's layout was designed by Dorota Sikora around two parallel alleys forming a sightline toward Marek Budzyński's Church of the Ascension of the Lord.
