A park named after Polish Nobel Prize winner Wislawa Szymborska will be built on Karmelicka Street in Krakow. The petition to the mayor was submitted by residents of the city. The councilors voting on the idea were unanimous - a park named after Wisława Szymborska will be created! The campaign on Facebook was supported by the poet's former secretary Michal Rusinek. Soon, instead of a parking lot, Krakow residents will be able to enjoy a new park.
In the 2019 Civic Budget, more than 9,000 Cracovians voted for the project to build a park on Karmelicka Street in Krakow instead of the parking lot that exists there today. It's hard to believe that the idea came up only last year, mainly because of the culturaland entertainment neighborhood of the area - the Provincial Public Library, the Malopolska Garden of Arts or Tytano at 10 Dolnych Młynów St. The library itself is to be connected to the park under construction - this inspired residents to create a park with a literary character and name it after the Nobel Prize winner. Wisława Szymborska is an Honorary Citizen of Krakow, and already in 2023 we will celebrate the 100th anniversary of her birth. So this is a good opportunity to celebrate it properly.
More about the park to be created was written by Katarzyna Jagodzinska in the text About how residents are making a park in the city center.
