  • Brief Description : Pocket park in the densely built up 7th District of the city, which was constructed on a corner site following its use as a construction site for building the U6 underground line. The first phase of the park was completed in 1994 and a small extension on an adjoining site in 1998.

    The park concept is that of creating an outdoor living room for the residents of the district. The urban living room has three levels corresponding to different uses, and contains a summer house ('Salettl') children's playground, tobogganing hill, and sitting areas.

    The second phase of the park was built on an inner courtyard site and is linked diagonally to the first. This part is located above an underground car park.
