Park im. księcia Józefa Poniatowskiego

Wide avenues built for horse-drawn carriage driving still shape the park's paths, a feature that set it apart from Łódź's other green spaces until 1923. City architect Teodor Chrząński laid out the grounds in 1903 for president Władysław Pieńkowski, felling around 1,500 conifers from the existing municipal forest and replanting nearly 100,000 trees and shrubs to form the new park. The layout blends the informality of an English garden with the symmetry of a French one, and the grounds opened under the name Ogród przy ulicy Pańskiej, taking their current name honouring Prince Józef Poniatowski only in 1917. A presidential villa designed by architect Wiesław Lisowski was added to the grounds in the 1920s. The park stood in for outdoor Łódź in the 1946 feature film Zakazane piosenki (Forbidden Songs).
