A newly renovated green plaza at the intersection of Bogusławskiego and Maszewska streets in Bielany, Warsaw, opened yesterday, offering rest areas, kids’ trampoline zone, and a tributing plaque to actor Wojciech Bogusławski. . **Body:**
Location and Vision
The plaza sits at Bogusławskiego and Maszewska intersection in Bielany, Warsaw, and aims to become a daily relaxation spot for residents.
Transformation Process
The derelict plot, once littered with abandoned garages, was cleared, polluted areas removed, and existing structures demolished as part of a cleansing effort.
Features for All Ages
The site now hosts seating benches, a lounging area, a spring‑loaded bench, and public beach chairs. A trampoline zone caters to children, and a chess table plus a popular game board offer options for adults.
Green Investment
Planting included 12 trees, about 1,500 shrubs and perennials, and weed‑preventing mats to reduce maintenance costs. It aligns with the district’s “invest in greenery” campaign.
Tribute to Wojciech Bogusławski
A plaque commemorates the actor, singer, director, and former Warsaw National Theatre chief, linking the space symbolically to the street’s namesake.
Funding and Implementation
Planning began late 2023; the project cost 789,000 PLN. It was executed by the Bielany District Environmental Protection Office, designer Magdalena Kotwińska, and contractor P.U. DISIGN Łukasz Kwiatkowski. Mayor and council initiatives secured the land and financing.
