A bear is a symbol of Warsaw Ursus district. The name of the district refers to a bear, we can see a bear in its coat of arms and also the name of one estate in the district (Niedźwiadek) means ‘bear’ in Polish. The idea was to underline the ‘bear’ motive of the district also in Skorosze – the youngest part of the district. It is a typical estate of blocks of flats - it was built in recent years and is rather not a very attractive one.
In 2009 a competition for a bear’s sculpture was organised by the district’s authorities. 32 works were prepared, the one made by Aleksandra Ławicka-Cuper won the competition. The sculpture was made in Polish Sculpture Centre in Orońsko, near Radom, it was financed by the developer of surrounding buildings.
The bear, situated at the intersection of Prystora and Ryżowa streets looks really very nice, so it is worth visiting. It is not a big, dangerous bear, but a tiny and friendly one.
