Modenapark, Public park in Vienna 3rd district, Austria.
Modenapark is a public green space in Vienna's 3rd district featuring playgrounds, sports facilities, and walking paths for recreation. The area offers children multiple play equipment like slides and swings, while adults can use a basketball court and table tennis tables.
The land was a private garden of Archduchess Maria Beatrix von Este in 1812 before being transformed into a public park in 1926. This change occurred after the Modenapalais was demolished in 1916, leaving only this final section of its former gardens.
The park displays the sculpture group 'Knabe mit Panthern' by Josef Müllner that catches visitors' eyes during a stroll. The surrounding buildings from the 1920s with their distinctive historical facades frame the green space and shape how the area feels today.
The park is easily accessible on foot and offers plenty of space to walk and relax for all ages. Visitors should come during daytime when all facilities can be used and the area is active with people.
The park is the only remaining piece of the former Modenapalais garden, whose palace was demolished in 1916. This small green patch thus preserves a quiet echo of the past within the modern neighborhood.
