The green area is called John Paul's II Park. There were town houses here until 1945, but they were demolished in the 1960s. A park was created. The John Paul II monument has stood here since 2000. Columnar oaks, also known as pyramid oaks, grow on both sides. They are rare here and are therefore protected.

“In early times, settlements were founded on the banks of rivers or lakes. This was also the case with Mragow (formerly Sensburg, Zadzbork, Zadzbork), founded on Lake Czos. The lake water was not always drinkable. That's why they dug wells or looked for springs, called "Krynica". There were already wells in the city itself in the Middle Ages. But the surrounding area is rich in springs. At that time, the "Love Spring" was also called a health spring. Previously, there was no shortage of water for household needs in Mragowo. But there was a lack of good drinking water. The residents drew it from the spring located at the foot of the hill on Lake Czos. The water, whose taste does not change, could be kept in a vessel for a long time.” (taken from the attached table.)

During a thunderstorm, the English oak was struck by lightning. The bark acted as a lightning rod. The “tree sap” under the bark was heated to such an extent that damage was caused in the form of a stripe on the tree trunk down to the ground. Today you can see that the tree has healed again. You can still see the lightning damage.
