Newly designed fourth in Meidling opens its goals!

The new Vierthaler Park in Vienna-Meidling was ceremoniously opened on Tuesday. The redesign of the park, which was carried out as part of a citizen participation process, has the goal of creating a modern and interactive place for residents. The fourthhaler park extends over an area of ​​2,000 square meters and is now divided into four different zones that offer something for all age groups.

The park has developed into a popular meeting place for families, toddlers and young people in the area in recent months. Visitors can find a football cage, a basketball basket and a Calisthenics area on the Vierthalergasse side. At the entrance to the Rauchgasse, a new play area with a climbing frame, slide, basket swing and water feature attracts the children. The Bendlgasse page was converted into a calm zone with hammocks and lawn in which the residents can withdraw.

Green oases in the city

The redesign not only ensures more fun and movement, but also a significant improvement in greening. A total of five new trees were planted, and 230 square meters of area were sealed and converted into green areas. Plants are now ranking on a wall of the house, and new shrub and perennial beds have also been created. "The importance of green oases for the quality of life cannot be assessed highly enough," emphasizes climate city councilor Jürgen Czernohorszky (SPÖ) in an interview.

District head Wilfried Zankl (SPÖ) is also very satisfied with the result of the citizen participation process, in which residents were able to bring in their ideas and wishes. Many concerns were implemented, including more green areas, an extensive play area for children and modern, inclusion -friendly seating. Table tennis tables and two new round benches in the central area also invite you to linger.

A look into the future

After the opening of the fourthhaler park, the view is already aimed at the next green space, which is to be redesigned: the Christine-Busta-Park. Around 300 people have already brought ideas and suggestions here. The first designs for this are to be presented in autumn. It turns out that citizen participation plays an increasingly important role when it comes to the design of public spaces. The experiences from the fourthhaler park provide many indications of how numerous votes can flow into the planning.

Overall, the fourthhaler park has successfully developed into a place where you can spend time relaxed and exchange ideas with your neighborhood. It remains exciting how the other projects will be in Meidling.
