Hugo Wolf, Turkenschanz and Linneplatz

Do you know, I've always wanted to live by a park, and now I live within walking distance of 3??

They are all amazing. And on Sunday afternoons, that's where everyone goes. You see kids at the skate park and on the play ground, older ladies walking arm in arm, people asleep in the grass by the ponds, others reading on a bench, boys playing ping pong, soccer or badminton. There is even a sand volleyball court!

There are small restaurants inside and ice cream stands. The main way Austrians cope with heat seems to be ice cream. I have never seen so many ice cream vendors! And so little air conditioning. They are trying to cool themselves from the inside out, I suppose.
