Pole Mokotowskie (Polish for "Mokotów Field"; often erroneously referred to by newcomers to Warsaw in the plural form, Pola Mokotowskie, "Mokotów Fields") is a large park in Warsaw. Part of it is called "Józef Piłsudski Park."
Located between Warsaw's Mokotów district and the city center, the park is one of the largest in Warsaw. Until World War II, a major part was occupied by an airfield and the Warsaw Polytechnic aircraft works.
Pole Mokotowskie was also, until 1934, the site of Warsaw Airport and, until 1939, of the Warsaw Horse Racing Track.
Located within the park is the Polish National Library. The park is also famous for its bars. Just to the south is a Warsaw Metro station, the Pole Mokotowskie station.
