Skaryszew Park (pronounced Sca-ri-chef) is an urban, monumental park located in the Praga-Południe (South Praga) district of Warsaw, Poland.[1] Skaryszew Park is situated on the right bank of Vistula River.It occupies 58 ha, an area formerly made of meadows and pastures which previously belonged to the village of Skaryszew in the 17th and 18th centuries.In 1929, during the interwar period, the park was named after Ignacy Jan Paderewski, a famous Polish pianist, composer, and politician who contributed significantly to Poland's independence.Paderewski's name, removed after World War II for political reasons, was finally restored in 1980.
