Park Przy Bażantarni, Urban park in Ursynów district, Warsaw, Poland.
Park Przy Bażantarni is a green space that combines wooded areas with open landscaped sections connected by walking paths. The grounds feature separate play zones for children, sports fields, and courts for various activities throughout the site.
The green belt was designated during planning of the Ursynów-Natolin development band from 1975, when architect Jacek Nowicki worked on Natolin Południowy. The area was kept as valuable partly because it lies on the view axis of Natolin Palace. In 2008 it was covered by the Ursynów Południe-Kabaty local plan, zoned for park and forest greenery, and park construction began that year with the Orlik 2012 sports pitches.
Since March 2015 a weekly parkrun has started every Saturday around the park, and in 2018 route markings were funded from the civic budget. In December 2012 three sculptures were placed here: Michał Frydrych's steel-lettered "Rzeźba w parku" and two untitled heads by Tomasz Górnicki, said to depict Wojciech Kossak and Julian Fałat, who fought a pistol duel in 1900 on what became Ursynów.
The park lies between Jana Rosoła, Przy Bażantarni, aleja Komisji Edukacji Narodowej and aleja Kasztanowa along Kazimierza Jeżewskiego street, next to the church of blessed Władysław of Gielniów. A main promenade runs from Przy Bażantarni street, with extra footpaths and a cycle path added in 2012–2013. The south-eastern 5.4 ha is wooded, and a parkrun lap circles the park every Saturday from March 2015.
The three sculptures placed in December 2012 are easy to miss: Michał Frydrych's "Rzeźba w parku" is a steel inscription, while Tomasz Górnicki's two untitled heads depict the painters Wojciech Kossak and Julian Fałat, who fought a pistol duel in 1900 on what later became Ursynów.
