Józef Sowiński Park in Warsaw, Urban park in Wola district, Poland
Józef Sowiński Park is an urban park in the Wola district of Warsaw, stretching between two busy streets and laid out with old trees, footpaths, and open lawn areas. Covered spots and benches along the paths make it a place for walking and spending time outdoors.
The park was laid out in 1936, designed by two Warsaw architects at a time when the city was creating new public green spaces. Over the following decades, elements were added, including a monument to the general the park is named after.
The park takes its name from General Józef Sowiński, who died in 1831 during the November Uprising against Russian rule in Warsaw. His statue stands in the central part of the park and draws visitors who stop there to look.
The park is open year-round and can be visited without any preparation. Entrances run along the two main streets on either side, making it easy to enter and exit from different points.
In 2019, a salt inhalation tower was added to the park, a structure that releases salty mist into the surrounding air. This kind of tower was once common in historic spa towns and is still unusual to find inside a city park.
