New Albert Schultz Park: 22,000 m² of green for Vienna!

A new recreational area is being created in the Danube city: The Albert Schultz Park, which is being built in the “Oberes Hausfeld” area, will not only expand the city's green areas, but also enrich the lives of the residents. With a total area of ​​22,218 square meters, the park offers enough space for leisure activities and relaxation. The first sod has already been broken and anticipation is growing. Heute reports that the park is designed primarily as a recreational and leisure space for all Viennese.

The new park will not only include beautiful lawns, but also numerous amenities for visitors. People can relax or do sports on a spacious lawn of 12,052 square meters. Particularly noteworthy: 252 new trees will be planted, which will help improve the microclimate. These trees are important for capturing particulate matter and CO2 as well as producing oxygen, which will significantly improve the air quality in the area. In addition, the new green spaces create habitats for numerous animal species and increase biodiversity in the city, as the city of Vienna knows.

Five star offers for everyone

Albert Schultz Park will be designed in a variety of ways to meet the needs of all visitors. 11 pergolas are planned, which with a total area of ​​223 square meters will ensure that there are shady spots even on hot summer days. Vienna.gv.at highlights that there will also be water features that offer a great way to cool off on particularly warm days.

A spacious calisthenics facility will be available for sports enthusiasts and three table tennis tables will invite you to compete. The paths in the park are designed with light-colored, water-permeable materials that not only look good, but also promote the infiltration of rainwater. This means that the park will not only be a place for relaxation, but also an example of sustainable urban planning.

Another highlight is the inclusive playground, which invites children to let off steam by climbing, sliding and balancing. Particularly noteworthy is the barrier-free integration carousel, which allows every child to have fun. Safety is ensured by well-thought-out lighting along the main paths.

A contribution to urban climate resilience

The scientific assessment of the park according to current studies shows that green spaces are not only a source of recreation, but can also make a decisive contribution to the resilience of our cities in the face of climate change. According to that Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Trees promote well-being and can effectively mitigate the negative effects of heat islands. Increasing tree cover by at least 30 percent could dramatically reduce the number of extreme heat hours while ensuring more rainwater seeps away.

When planning and implementing the Albert Schultz Park, attention is not only paid to leisure activities, but also to the climatic challenges that we will face in the coming years. With its blooming landscape and the promotion of biodiversity, the park becomes a lively meeting place for young and old in the Danube city.
