The Saxon Garden (Polish: Ogród Saski) is a 15.5–hectare[2] public garden in central (Śródmieście) Warsaw, Poland, facing Piłsudski Square. It is the oldest public park in the city. Founded in the late 17th century, it was opened to the public in 1727[2][3] as one of the first publicly accessible parks in the world.
