Fountains at Planty Park
Highlight • Monument
The (urban) park was created in 1908-10 and was designed by Walerian Kronenberg in a naturalistic style. It had a rich and varied greenery. One of two designed fountains was built in the park. Initially, it was fenced with a wooden fence, and from 1910 with a metal fence (survived until 1934) with three decorative gates designed by Eng. Kołuby.
In the years 1930-1938, under the patronage of the then voivode Marian Zyndram-Kościałkowski, the city park was expanded and thoroughly rebuilt in the areas adjacent to the palace, located in the Branicki Park complex. The modernist composition of the Planty park was designed by Eng. Stanisław Grall, manager of City Plantations. It combines elements of a natural park and a shaped French park with rich elements of the so-called small architecture. The central part of the park is a promenade, a wide pedestrian route (Lovers' Avenue boulevard) with low greenery (borders, flower carpets) and a rectangular swimming pool with fountains equipped with automatic illumination devices.
In the eastern part of the park from ul. Mickiewicza there is a rose garden, a rectangular water pool, next to which there was a sculpture of Laundresses by Stanisław Horno-Popławski, built before 1938, and a water pond called "Heart".
In the Polish People's Republic, starting in 1954, the park was called Polish-Soviet Friendship.
In 2014, the part of the park between Akademicka, Świętojańska, M. Skłodowska-Curie and Katyn Square was named the square of Lech and Maria Kaczyński - the President of the Republic of Poland and his wife. On March 1, 2018, a monument dedicated to Danuta Siedzikówna ps. "Inka".
The park includes, among others:
sculpture by Stanisław Horno-Popławski – Washerwoman
sculpture by Małgorzata Niedzielko – Pies Kawelin
monument dedicated to Danuta Siedzikówna alias "Inka"
promenades - boulevards: Aleja Kochanych, Józef Blicharski, Marian Kościałkowski
