Kurpark Oberlaa, Public park in Favoriten district, Vienna, Austria.
Kurpark Oberlaa spans approximately 608,600 square meters on the southeastern slope of Laaer Berg, featuring diverse themed gardens, water features including Swan Lake and lotus pond, extensive walking paths, sports facilities, and recreational areas for visitors of all ages.
The park was established on the grounds of the 1974 Vienna International Garden Show, transforming former clay fields into a designed landscape that has been continuously developed while maintaining its original horticultural exhibition character and design principles.
The park serves as a venue for open-air cinema screenings of historic silent films, including productions that were originally filmed on the same location in the 1920s such as 'Sodom and Gomorrah' and 'The Slave Queen'.
The park opens daily at 6:00 AM with closing times varying seasonally from 6:00 PM in winter months to 10:00 PM during summer, accessible via U1 metro line to Oberlaa station with parking available along access roads.
The park contains a 500-meter-long allergy garden path with informational panels about pollen-producing plants, designed specifically to educate visitors about allergen-causing vegetation and seasonal pollen distribution patterns throughout the year.
