Stadtpark (City Park), Melk

City Park offers a tranquil green retreat, designed with cross-shaped and circular paths that divide it into four sections, with a central square adding a touch of symmetry. Details such as a pavilion, a fountain, and a small “weather house” enhance the charm of the natural setting.

A memorial to Franz X. Linde, who was instrumental in the park’s creation, was erected here in 1904. Since then, the park has become a beloved escape for both locals and visitors, providing a calm space of trees and shade.

Its modest size is part of the appeal, creating an inviting atmosphere with shaded benches and neat pathways. Informational signs along some of the walkways highlight different tree species, while recent improvements have added features like new stairways, a slide, and a basket swing.
