Vienna-Donaustadt: Groundbreaking for New Albert-Schultz-Park

A diverse design is the focus of the new Albert-Schultz-Park: 11 pergolas with a total area of 223 square meters and 252 newly planted trees offer additional shade on hot days. In addition to the positive impact of the trees on the microclimate of their surroundings, they significantly contribute to the cooling of the city through evaporation, bind fine dust and CO2, and produce oxygen. They also create a diverse habitat for numerous living beings.

To further promote biodiversity, the new park is complemented by a total of 1,315 square meters of perennial and grass beds, which offer a natural ambiance and are intended as harmonious visual delights. A variety of different seating options invite you to linger: In addition to classic seating options, the Albert-Schultz-Park will also have loungers, wooden decks, hammocks, and seating stones. A 65 square meter ground-level water feature with various water jets, water channels, and a mud table provides refreshment and cooling. Additionally, 4 drinking fountains offer fresh water in this new green oasis.

"With the groundbreaking of the new Albert-Schultz-Park, we have achieved another success in our endeavor to create attractive green spaces for all people in Vienna. Thanks to the thoughtful design with new trees and shady seating areas, a climate-friendly place is created that sustainably increases the quality of life in the city. Due to numerous play and movement offers, the park invites various activities. Here, a place of social interaction is created, which should be freely available to all people," said Vienna's Climate Councilor Jürgen Czernohorszky. District Chairman Ernst Nevrivy is also pleased about the construction of the new Albert-Schultz-Park: "With the new Albert-Schultz-Park, we are creating an attractive, climate-friendly meeting place for the population. The diverse movement and sports opportunities, as well as inviting seating areas, should offer local recreation and open space. The park should be a lively meeting place for all generations in the Donaustadt."

Albert-Schultz-Park: Focus on Play and Movement

In the new park, there are numerous movement opportunities for all age groups. The playground areas are designed to be varied and are intended to promote joint play among children. For children and toddlers, climbing elements, balancing opportunities, swings, slides, and a sand play area are planned. A barrier-free integration carousel, which also offers space for wheelchair users, will also be available. Sports enthusiasts will find a generous calisthenics facility and three table tennis tables in the Albert-Schultz-Park. The paved areas and paths will be designed with light, permeable materials that heat up less and thus create ideal conditions for sports and movement. Along the main paths, lighting will be installed to improve the sense of security and orientation in the evening hours. Additionally, a publicly accessible toilet facility by MA 48 will be built.
