Recently, Blažić, Bokan and Rakić, obtained some classes of 4-dimensional Osserman pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. One of these is the class of rank 2 locally symmetric space endowed with an integrable para-quaternionic structure. In this paper we give an explicit construction of an example of a space of that kind.
