Kochanowski Park

At just over one hundred years old, Park Kochanowskiego was originally laid out in a classic English style in the so-called Music District of the city, close to the Philharmonia and Music Academy. At 3.2 hectares, the park contains 80 species of trees and shrubs as well as a number of interesting stautues. Of the latter, the most famous is The Archer, one of the symbols of the city and unveiled way back in 1910. A rather racy female figure, Ferdinand Lepke's sculpture's vital statistics for those are a cool 106cm, 77cm, 105cm.  In the northeast corner is a metal rose. The work of Józef Makowski, it commemorates 50 students murdered by the Germans in the city on September 5, 1939. Other statues of note are one of the Nobel Prize-winning Polish novelist Henryk Sienkiewicz (aka Litwos), and the composer Karol Szymanowski. A popular haunt for picnicking students and young lovers, the park also contains a children's adventure playground and is a recommend place for a peaceful afternoon stroll.
