Park Dreszera, Urban park in Mokotów district, Warsaw, Poland
Park Dreszera is a 2.7-hectare green space in the Mokotów district featuring a central alley with rectangular garden sections on either side. The modernist design creates a structured layout that defines the entire park's character.
Designed by architect Zygmunt Hellwig, the park opened in 1938 and later served as a defensive point during the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. The grounds witnessed armed conflict as German forces occupied the city.
The Monument of Fighting Mokotów stands within the grounds as a tribute to armed resistance during wartime. The glacial boulder bearing the Kotwica symbol connects visitors to the Polish Underground State and its struggle.
The park can be entered from four directions via Puławska, Krasickiego, Odyńca, and Ursynowska streets, with the primary entrance on Puławska Street. Visitors can access and navigate the grounds easily thanks to the well-distributed entry points around the perimeter.
The eastern section contains an oval chestnut tree alley that intersects with the main path at a fountain, forming a geometric garden composition. This carefully arranged intersection reflects the detailed attention given to the park's original design.
