Arenbergpark: Citizens want improvements - redesign is imminent

There are currently exciting developments for Arenbergpark on Landstrasse. The district leader Erich Hohenberger from the SPÖ has announced that this park will be redesigned next. One concern of residents is improving the park infrastructure to make the recreational area even more attractive. Citizens are involved in the planning process at an early stage.

The Landstrasse has a number of green oases such as the Kardinal-Nagl-Park or the Rochuspark, which serve as a place for residents to relax. But as with many parks, regular maintenance and modernization is necessary. In July, the Czapkapark was redesigned and is now equipped with better infrastructure.

Table tennis tables in Arenbergpark

A specific request that has become louder and louder recently is for a third table tennis table in Arenbergpark. The two tables currently available are often very busy and there are often queues, as ÖVP district councilor Teresa Sihler explains. She explains that space for a third table can be easily created because the existing tables are in line.

The demand for additional benches to increase the quality of stay was also discussed and received approval in the district parliament. But the implementation of these proposals will still take some time.

Citizen participation in planning

Hohenberger announced that it would make sense to wait for plans for the remodel before installing new table tennis tables. Concrete plans for the redesign are currently still in the stars as financing still needs to be clarified. Similar to Czapkapark, citizens should be able to actively participate in the redesign.

An interesting fact on the side: Arenberg Park is named after Princess Franziska von Arenberg, who lived from 1822 to 1894 and owned the park until it was sold to the municipality of Vienna in 1900.

For more information about the developments and to express their wishes for Arenberg Park, those interested can contact the responsible authorities or pay attention to the ongoing discussions within the district council. MyDistrict will report continuously.
