This small but lovely park just south of Chopin Park was established on the initiative of local residents in the mid-19th century - a time when the fortified ring of the Poznań Fortress left little room for green spaces in the city centre. One of the city’s oldest public parks, in 2008 it was renovated and named after Zbigniew Zakrzewski - a Polish economist, professor and the author of several books sharing his love for the city he spent most of his life in.

The park features a wonderful fountain and several charming sculpted figures by Norbert Sarnecki which playfully interact with it: a woman gingerly dipping her toe into the waters, and boy and his basset hound standing on the edge of the pool, and a professor with his hand out anticipating rain. When the fountain is working - which it sadly has not been of late - the spray of water drenches the figure of the professor, and the pool is a great place to cool off on a hot summer day. A small playground also makes this a fun place for kids to frolic.
