  Wilson Park in Poznań - a historic park in Poznań, in Łazarz, within the auxiliary unit Osiedle Św. Łazarz, functioning until 1925 as the Botanical Garden

  It covers an area of ​​7.2 ha, and its origins date back to 1834, when the area of ​​today's park was bought by the Society for Beautifying the City and its Surroundings, establishing a nursery of trees, which planted urban streets and squares. In 1902, the Society handed the school over to the city and made it available to the public. The first botanical garden in Poznań was established here (the park was finished in 1904 according to the design of Herman Kube). A palm house was built in the park in 1910 (it was erected as part of the Exhibition of East German Industry, Craft and Agriculture). After the war, in 1926, the park was granted the patronage of US President Thomas Woodrow Wilson, who, under the influence of Ignacy Jan Paderewski, contributed to Poland's regaining independence in 1919. At the end of June 1927 a committee was built to build the planetarium, which was to be built on the verge of junction of ul. Orzeszkowa and Śniadeckich [2]. In 1928 the park was included in the PeWuKi area; then a park fountain was created. On July 4, 1931, a monument to the president founded by Ignacy Jan Paderewski was erected here, which was unveiled by the widow of the president, the president of the Republic of Poland, Ignacy Mościcki, and the president of Poznań, Cyril Ratajski. The author of the sculpture was Gutzon Borglum - the author of the face of George Washington sculpted in the slope of Mount Rushmore. The monument was destroyed by Germany.
