History:

There used to be a less-known jump at Warsaw in Agrykola park close to the direct city centre. It was opened yet in the 1920's. There were plans to close it down in the early 50's and the hill record (25 m) was set in the last competition on the old hill by Wladyslaw Gasienica-Roj from Zakopane (student’s world champion 1957). However, later the hill wasn't abandoned, but somewhat rebuilt and yet for about 20 years it functioned as a winter "supplement" to the Skarpa (even when Skarpa was a much more important and known jump). In the 70's it had to be torn down to make place for the reconstruction of the Ujazdowski Castle (now home to the Centre for Contemporary Art). Today only the old landing slope should still be visible, but there are people in Warsaw who remember the hill and have even jumped from it.
