Währinger Park, Public park in Währing, Austria

Währinger Park is a public park in Vienna's 18th district on the grounds of a former cemetery. It features playgrounds, sports facilities including basketball courts and table tennis tables, sandpits, swings, slides, and green spaces set within a residential neighborhood.

The Allgemeiner Währinger Friedhof opened in 1783 after Joseph II ordered burials moved outside the Linienwall. It served several parishes and the General Hospital, with 2,998 burials in 1844 and 4,003 in 1846. Extended in 1854 and 1872, it closed after the Zentralfriedhof opened in 1874. In 1923 it became the First Republic's first cemetery-to-park conversion, keeping 58 gravestones in a grove.

The fenced Gräberhain in the northeast corner, near Semperstraße/Schrottenbachgasse, holds 58 gravestones. The exhumed remains were reburied beneath their stones in 1923, so these are actual graves, including those of Caroline Pichler, Adalbert Gyrowetz and Friedrich von Gentz. It can be visited on request.

The park is bounded by Mollgasse, Gymnasiumstraße, Philippovichgasse and Semperstraße, with the Döbling district border at its northeastern end. The fenced Gräberhain, near the Semperstraße/Schrottenbachgasse corner, can be visited on request. A dog zone, a children's outdoor pool at the western end and a skate facility are on site, and a car park lies beneath the park by the Döbling border.

An oak tree planted by Mayor Jakob Reumann at the park's opening in October 1923 still stands in its original location. This tree serves as a living monument from when the cemetery transformed into a modern city park.
