New park Auf der Schmelz: Green paradise for Rudolfsheim!

In Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus, something exciting is happening: a new park that extends on the former roll sports facility "Auf der Schmelz" was recently opened. With an area of 2,320 square meters, it is not only a place of relaxation, but also a chic fitness spot for young and old. The city of Vienna has been committed to creating attractive green spaces for all people in the city, and so the population was also able to actively contribute ideas in the planning process. This citizen*participation shows that something is due! [Today] reports that the park should be a meeting point for all generations.

What's new in the park? In addition to 30 freshly planted trees, numerous movement offers invite you: a calisthenics system with stretching bars, sprout ladders and bars is available, as well as a combination device that can be used for both leg press and for rowing training. The new seating in the form of grandstands and benches that invite you to linger also ensure body and mind. The climate -friendly design of the park is no coincidence, because almost 1,000 square meters were sealed to improve rainwater infiltration. [Ots] adds that the creation of shady lounge areas and new green areas should noticeably increase the quality of life of the residents.

diverse green spaces for all

The park comprises 611 square meters of shrub surfaces, 547 square meters of lawn and 165 square meters of perennial and grass beds. Two green pergolas not only offer shady retreats, but also a touch of nature in the middle of the city. A drinking fountain with a watercourse provides refreshment on hot days and invites you to enjoy the time outside. In this sense, the park is all about urban greens, as is also described in the various analyzes of the urban green: it should not only promote the quality of life, but also the health of the residents. [Environmental University Hannover] emphasizes the positive effects of green spaces on the city climate and mental health.

The lighting along the main paths also ensures the orientation and safety of all visitors, so that the park becomes a real oasis of relaxation and movement. Particularly noteworthy is the barrier -free access that ensures that the park is accessible to everyone. “On the Melz” offers a place where all generations can come together and enjoy the advantages of a green living space.

a step into the green future

The opening of the park is part of a larger concept of the city of Vienna, which provides 20 million euros annually by 2025 for climate adjustment measures. Work is also carried out in other places, such as the Paula-von-Mirtow park in Meidling and the Ludwig-Zatzka-Park at the Breitensee S-Bahn station. In urban development, urban green is becoming increasingly important, as the discussions and projects of recent years show. This new park not only increases the quality of stay, but also a contemporary awareness of climate -friendly.

Finally, it can be said: The new park "Auf der Schmelz" is a win for Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus and an example of how creative planning and participation in the citizens can create habitats that benefit the entire population.
