The bronze statue of Pope John Paul the Second stands at the center of this park, his hand raised in a permanent gesture of greeting. Dedicated in two thousand and eleven, the site commemorates the pontiff’s visit to the area decades earlier. Before this park existed, the plot functioned as an industrial courtyard for the nearby telecommunications facilities. Now, the paved pathways and trees create a quiet buffer for residents living in the dense apartment blocks surrounding the perimeter.
