Alois-Drasche-Park

Alois-Drasche-Park is a public green space in Vienna's fourth district with walking paths, seating areas, and landscaped gardens. The grounds are surrounded by residential buildings and provide a quiet retreat within the densely built neighborhood.

The park was created in 1899 on land formerly known as Blecherne-Turm Field, with its name officially given in 1898 in honor of textile manufacturer Alois Drasche. This transformation from industrial land to green space shaped the neighborhood's development.

The park serves as a neighborhood gathering place where residents spend time walking and relaxing daily. Summer outdoor film screenings by VOLXkino have become a social tradition that draws the community together.

The park is easily accessible on foot with walkways that are well-maintained throughout the seasons. Winter offers ice skating on the converted ball court, while recreational ball games are available year-round in good weather.

The area is notably car-free, as no roads run between the residential buildings and green space. This unusual design creates a continuous pedestrian zone that is rarely found in densely urban settings.
