The walkway leads to the Árpád Memorial, designed in classical style and erected in 1896 by the architect Gyula Berczik and the sculptor Ede Kallós. The statue was remodelled in 1997-98 by the sculptor Károly Buzár and forms an enchanting backdrop for the national celebration ceremonies and other events organised in the park. The traditional folk festival of Ópusztaszer village held formerly on the first Sunday of September was named after this memorial and is called the "szobori búcsú" (statue fiesta). It is interesting to see the small tree ferns that grow in the limestone of the Árpád Memorial. The curiosity is that this species also lives in the Verecke Pass. (The route by which the conquering Magyars first passed through the Carpathian Mountains into the Carpathian Basin).
