Óhegy park, Urban park in Kőbánya, Hungary
Óhegy Park covers about 15 hectares and features several playgrounds, sports facilities, and areas for different recreational activities. An illuminated running track winds through the site, with separate zones for dog walking and outdoor fitness.
The land held vineyards in the 19th century, then was taken over by brick factories before becoming a public park in 1973. This shift marked the end of industrial use and the start of public recreation on the site.
The mining-themed playground reflects how industry shaped the neighborhood and remains part of how locals and families engage with the space today. This design choice keeps the area's industrial past visible in everyday recreation.
The site is accessible via an illuminated running track open to visitors at all times. Separate zones allow comfortable dog walking and outdoor training without interference.
Underground tunnels from former mining operations run beneath the park and require regular monitoring of ground stability. These hidden structures quietly influence how the park is maintained and managed.
