A new neighborhood park is being built on Hafnerstraße in the district of Straßgang: In the past few months, the city of Graz has created a 5,700 square meter park in the past few months, which is officially opened in autumn. The park was planned as a place of residence and recreation in the middle of the residential area and is aimed at residents: inside and visitors: inside alike.
“A long -cherished wish that we were able to implement together with the citizens,” said Vice Mayor Judith Schwentner (Greens). Robert Wiener, head of the green area and water department of the city of Graz, emphasized the ecological added value: the new green space creates habitat for animals and contributes to the quality of life.
