New Park "Auf der Schmelz" Soon Offers Sports, Greenery, and Recreation in Vienna-Rudolfsheim
The Vienna City Gardens are creating a 2,320 square meter park "Auf der Schmelz." The new green oasis reflects the site's past as a former roller sports facility and will offer a variety of movement options, including five calisthenics and fitness devices. Additionally, numerous seating options and a seating tribune invite visitors to linger. The park is expected to be completed this summer.
More Green, More Cooling: The Highlights of the New Park in Vienna-Rudolfsheim
Unsealing and greening are at the forefront of the new construction: The numerous tree plantings enhance the future green oasis and also provide shade on hot days, supported by two green pergolas.
In the spirit of climate-friendly design, a total of 946 square meters of the former roller sports facility will be unsealed. To increase biodiversity, the new park will be equipped with 611 square meters of green areas with small shrubs and a 547 square meter lawn area that can be used in various ways. The park design is complemented by 165 square meters of perennial and grass beds. Additionally, a drinking fountain with a water feature provides refreshment in the park.
New Park "Auf der Schmelz" Focuses on Sports and Movement
Since the area was previously designated as a recreational space for sports and play areas, numerous movement offerings are also planned for the new park. Five calisthenics and fitness devices, including a large calisthenics facility with pull-up bars, ladder rungs, and parallel bars, a combination device with a leg press and rowing machine, as well as abdominal and back trainers, offer diverse training opportunities and invite movement enthusiasts of all ages to get active.
Paved areas are designed with light paving material that heats up less and therefore provides ideal conditions for sports and exercise. To make the park accessible without barriers, it will be opened to the adjacent main path. Along the main paths, lighting will also be installed to ensure a sense of security and better orientation during the evening hours.
Park Facility is Part of the "Livable Climate Model City" Funding Program
The newly constructed park "Auf der Schmelz" is part of the "Livable Climate Model City" funding program of the City of Vienna. With this program, the City of Vienna supports district projects that enhance quality of life. Up to and including 2025, 20 million euros per year were available for climate adaptation measures. This included the expansion of green spaces and park areas, cooling measures, and the unsealing of concrete and asphalt surfaces.
This year, the newly designed Paula-von-Mirtow-Park in Meidling can be opened as part of the program. The work for the redesign of the Ludwig-Zatzka-Park in the area of the forecourt of the S-Bahn station Breitensee can also be implemented and completed with the help of the funding this year.
