Haydnpark is a park in Vienna's twelfth district, Meidling. The park was built in 1926 on the remnants of an abandoned cemetery, Hundsturmer Friedhof, which closed in 1874 when the Vienna Central Cemetery was constructed. The park is named after composer Joseph Haydn, who was originally buried in the cemetery.
Today, the public park is maintained by Vienna's park management. It currently covers an area of approximately 13,000 m2,[1] and has 7,500 m2 of youth sports facilities for handball, volleyball, and other athletics.
