Congress park
The congress park is a roughly 61,000 m² public park in Ottakring in the west of Vienna, on the district border with Hernals . It was laid out in 1927/28 on a former sand extraction site and garbage dump according to plans by the architect Erich Franz Leischner and is to be understood in the ensemble with the neighboring urban residential complexes ( Sandleitenhof , Wiedenhoferhof ) from the 1920s (see also entry on the Kongressplatz ). At the same time as the park, the conference pool to the east was built. The extensive congress park with its extensive play facilities for children plays an important role in leisure activities in the still densely populated outer west of Vienna's core city and also attracts visitors from other parts of the 16th and 17th districts.
