Rapoldipark, Public park in Pradl district, Innsbruck, Austria
Rapoldipark lies in the Pradl district between the Sill and the housing blocks at Leipziger Platz, with the Rapoldi-Weiher pond at its centre. After the old gasworks closed, the park was extended northward, joining the banks of the Sill and the Inn into a continuous green corridor reaching the northeastern edge of Innsbruck.
The park was created when Innsbruck was expanding its green spaces for a growing population. It was named to honor a politician from the early 20th century who played a role in the city's development.
The park is named after a local Tyrolean politician whose legacy connects the space to Innsbruck's past. It serves as a gathering place where residents spend afternoons walking and enjoying the open air together.
