– Counteracting the effects of climate change is one of the most important challenges in the modern world. In Gdańsk, we are aware of this and we are glad that the Gdańsk authorities think the same, said Monika Chabior, vice-president of Gdańsk. – It is extremely important that we take care of green spaces in the city and create new ones.

The creation of the park is part of the "Gdańsk Tech Climate Plan" adopted by the university, which concerns both the scientific and research sphere (scientific research on solutions that will help counteract climate change) as well as the quality of education (including the creation of teaching programs related to energy transformation and adaptation to climate change) and the university infrastructure.

We actively participate in the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and we also implement the strategy set out in the "Gdańsk Tech Climate Plan- said prof. Dariusz Mikielewicz, Gdańsk Tech vice-rector for organization and development. – Creating green spaces on the campus, such as this park, is one of the proofs of our activity in this area. We want our campus to be more and more green and friendly, he added.

The park's design assumed the use of pro-ecological and energy-saving solutions – adds Mariusz Miler, Chancellor of Gdańsk Tech. – In addition, in line with the educational objectives of the campus, an outdoor amphitheater-type classroom, an open gym, park paths and gravel squares surrounded by flower meadows were created in the park. We also took care of the diversity of species by planting over 1,500 plants. We have created a new, attractive space and a walking path connecting the University campus with the Gallows Hill, where the largest water reservoir in Gdańsk, Stary Sobieski, with a viewing point, is located, as well as the Nostalgic Park, established in 2018 on the preserved part of the former urn cemetery.
