The park was reclaimed from a former brick kiln site, which was later utilized as a landfill for rubble.
The topography of the Löwygrube was significantly altered during its conversion to a park to create the current hilly landscape.
The park's name refers to the Löwy brickworks, which operated in this area during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
It contains a specialized 'Hundezone' (dog zone) that is one of the larger fenced-in areas in the district for off-leash exercise.
Parkanlage Löwygrube is a large 11-hectare recreational area situated on the Laaer Berg in Vienna’s 10th district, Favoriten. The site was formerly a brickyard and landfill before being reclaimed as a public park. It is notable for its expansive meadows, designated dog-off-leash zones, and elevated position providing panoramic views over Vienna. The terrain includes a large pond that serves as a central feature for visitors. Facilities include multiple playgrounds, a basketball court, and dedicated barbecue areas. The park is integrated into the surrounding landscape of the Laaer Berg, which includes nearby natural forest and meadow zones.
The highest elevation point near the center of the park, offering a wide-angle view of the Vienna skyline.
Bring your own supplies, as there are limited commercial facilities directly inside the park grounds.
Check the wind conditions on the hill, as the open, elevated terrain can be significantly breezier than in the city center.
Do not attempt to swim in the park pond, as it is a retention basin and not intended for recreational water activities.
Dogs must be kept on a leash in public areas outside of designated dog zones; clean up after pets immediately; follow posted rules for charcoal disposal in barbecue zones.
