Pole Mokotowskie (Polish for "Mokotów Field"; often used in the plural form, "Pola Mokotowskie", "Mokotów Fields") is a large park in Warsaw. Part of it is called "Józef Piłsudski Park."

Located between Warsaw's Mokotów district and the city center, the park is one of the largest in Warsaw. [pl icon cite web |author = |url = http://www.polamokotowskie.pl/?cat=pelnynews&newsid=5 |title = Tramwaj przetnie Pole Mokotowskie
