The Heritage Garden is designed to showcase Polish culture and is open to all citizens. The garden provides a venue for concerts, holiday observations, and community activities; or just a peaceful place to spend leisure time with family on weekends and holidays.<\/p>

Some key elements include the dramatic statue of the eagles designed by renowned sculptor Andrzej Pitynski, an outdoor stage, a circular historical walkway highlighting key events in Polish history, and benches situated in a tranquil environment nestled in a luscious garden setting.<\/p>

Visitors are encouraged to experience our rich Polish history or just relax and interact with others.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
