About

Mokotów Field, locally known as Pole Mokotowskie, is a vast urban oasis stretching across approximately 70 hectares just a few tram stops from central Warsaw. Once the site of early 20th-century airfields, an aircraft factory, and even the city’s first airport, the park is today a revitalized playground of greenery and leisure. Walking or cycling its winding paths, visitors encounter a beautiful blend of landscaped ponds bordered by natural reed beds, modern wooden platforms, and gently rolling lawns—all designed to support biodiversity while offering peaceful escapes from city life. Families picnic under mature trees, joggers glide along scenic trails, and skateboarders and fitness enthusiasts take advantage of dedicated zones. Casual diners and coffee seekers can enjoy refreshments in several open-air bars scattered around the park’s edges. The park also commemorates its aviation past (with a monument to fallen pilots), and hosts educational and social features—such as a themed “Kapuscinski Trail” and a grove of apple trees planted in honor of notable Polish women. Every season reveals a different side of its charm: autumn’s foliage reflects over glassy waters, summer evenings come alive with barbecues and festivals, and gentle winter snows highlight its serene landscape. Accessible 24/7 with nearby metro service and free entry.

Location

Mokotów Field (Pole Mokotowskie) is a vast urban park complex located in Warsaw, primarily spanning parts of the Ochota and Śródmieście districts, though often associated with the Mokotów district. Its approximate central location is around Wawelska Street 5, 00-251 Warsaw, Poland, easily accessible by the Pole Mokotowskie metro station. This expansive green space offers a variety of recreational opportunities within its boundaries, including extensive walking and cycling paths, open meadows, and wooded areas, making it a popular spot for locals and visitors seeking relaxation. Within the park, you can find the Polish National Library, a significant cultural institution, and the poignant Monument in Memory of the Fallen Polish Pilots in World War II. While the park itself is the main attraction, its central location places it within reasonable reach of other city highlights. A short distance away, visitors can explore the lively bars and cafes in the surrounding neighborhoods. Further afield, but still accessible, are attractions like the Palace of Culture and Science, a dominant skyscraper in the city center, and the historical Old Town with its various museums and landmarks.
