Contrary to what my faithful shadow Ghirlandajo suggests in the edit summary, it's not megalomania. Especially that the park is rather small. As to one of the most modern parks - it's rather obvious, as the usage of reinforced concrete in bridge construction was invented the year before the one in Warsaw was constructed (in 1894, in Viggen). Also the use of artificial asphalt was a novelty at the time. Halibu tt 11:18, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
